does anyone read this blog? just wondering.

Evil Spirits and cat-like beasts

"There's an evil spirit inside of that young lady just over there... the evil spirit told her to give me that roasted chicken. This makes me angry. That young lady is starving and that evil spirit told her to give me that roasted chicken."

This is what the 60ish year old homeless man said to me when I was out at St. Vinnies night patrol van. A young lady who was probably in her mid 20's came up to the van and said "I just got off of work and I was given this roasted chicken... but I don't really want it. Can I just drop it off here, can you guys use it cause I was just going to chuck it into the rubbish bin." We said "yeah, yeah... someone will take it. Thank you!" and indeed it was taken. It may have been sitting on that table for 5 minutes before someone asked if they could have it. But that man was convinced that an evil spirit possesed that young girl to give that chicken to us.

Then the man proceeded to tell a story. Apparently he was plagued with Cancer and was on his death bed in his tent. Well, he came out of his tent and this beast came out of his chest. The beast was probably the size of a full grown tabby cat, but this creature was dark with huge eyes. The beast looked up at this man and it said "I am Isaiah, the Lord has sent me here to tell you that you are coming home soon." Instantaniously the cancer left his body and he was completely healed.

Oh, the people I meet, and the things they say. Australia.
