A woman in Florida stopped a man from robbing a MetroPCS store where she worked by talking to him about Jesus.
Just goes to show....

Second one of these in the last couple months?
Is this a trend? What if we talk about Jesus and shoot at the same time? Is that super effective?
Really glad that worked out for her. The robber wasn't a gangbanger, he was just a guy really low on money that didn't see any other way out.

Maybe he didn't really know what he was looking for, and the lady explained what life with meaning was really all about. As they say, "The Lord works in mysterious ways"

All I can say is that if you're going to try that, you'd better be 110% sure that's what the Lord wants you to do

I think I'll just name my .357 "Faith."
Less likely to look bad in front of a jury than naming it "Retribution," anyway.

I will Shout Allahu' Akbar! Everyone will scatter. Not sure my bullets would be needed.

As the Quaker is rumored to have said to the burglar, "Friend, I wish thee no harm, but thou art standing where I'm about to shoot."

I petty the guy who was short of $300. I am sure, if he asked for help among friends the $300 can be collected quickly. I he is sincere about his financial situation, there is a way out, patience. I am sure more of those people in those tough times will try such desperate acts.

If you don't stop, I'll help you come to Jesus. Just about covers it.

ABC News had an interview with the
un-robbed bank teller last evening. It will be interesting to see what the shoe store
robbee looks like.

Shoe store clerk must have been an agnostic or athiest.

I cannot believe that no one has mentioned how many robberies have been stopped by someone having faith in the Church of John Moses Browning and obeying the words of his High Prophet, Col. Jeff Cooper.

Faith would have been my second choice of defense.
