Vicki,
That's called being connected to the Lord, so you can move instantly as he 
speaks.  We  should all pray to be available in case the Lord wants to work 
through, great or small.

Subject: Not at all dramatic


The other day I was going to work.  This day I needed to use the transit 
here instead of the regular bus.  The driver pulled over to let this other 
woman out.  He couldn't have let her out anywhere else because she would 
have had difficulty getting in to the building where she was going.  This 
guy was mad at the driver because he had to go around his vehicle.  He was 
only parked there for 30 seconds or so.  Or it would only have been that 
except that the guy who was upset that he had to go around the transit 
vehicle in his truck went in to a tirade that you wouldn't believe.  I began 
to pray while I turned on my cell phone to call 911.  Finally the guy let up 
on his vicious verbal assaults and threats.  I had not reached 911 yet.  All 
the while I was praying.  So the driver got back in the bus and indicated 
that he was very upset and needed a witness.  And we talked about it.  But 
all of a sudden before I knew it the words were out of my mouth.  I heard 
myself asking him if he would mind if I prayed for him.  I think he was 
expecting me to just pray for him throughout the day, or some silent prayer. 
And then I prayed for him.  He was definitely affected by the prayer.  I got 
to work and as I was getting off the bus, he thanked me and commented about 
how much better he felt.  I began to walk away but he came up to me and 
thanked me again.  I told him that whatever the result it was because we 
have a prayer answering God who truly cares about us and wants to be a part 
of our lives if we'll let him.  The incident was unusual as far as I was 
concerned.    I did talk to our transit authority, giving my report of the 
incident.  I wonder if the God incident was really the big happening of the 
day.  Oh! I'm so glad we have a God we can call on in all of our times; most 
certainly we can call on him in our time of trouble.  I wished I had been 
carrying a simple and to the point tract with me.
