That's really cool, Phil.  Did they say what the conversation was about?

I always chuckle to myself when I read the scripture where Jesus raised
someone from the dead and the person began to speak, but they never say
what he said.  I would think it would be fascinating to know what the first
words out of someone's mouth who had been raised from the dead would be.  I
mean, would he be angry at having been raised?  Would he have been bursting
with information about what it was like on "the other side"?  So I wonder
what the old man and his family were talking about.  What a cool witness to
the power of faith and life after so-called death!
