What Was That???!!!
 

I have a story to tell. It is a true story. There are witnesses, although procuring them at this point would be rather difficult. So I hope you take what I'm about to share as legit, because it's a bit crazy.

Several years ago, before I was married, while I was a freshman in college, I lived on campus in one of the dorms. I had a roommate, who liked to watch a bit of TV before he went to sleep.

I was already in bed, waiting for him to turn off the tube. He wasn't, and I didn't want to make a stink, so I got up and decided to go for a prayer walk.

It was mid-March, and while not too cold here in WI, it was windy. It was about 11pm I guess, if memory serves.

I went for a long walk, praying for this and that, up and down whatever streets I decided to travel. As I was heading back to the campus, I began singing a song that I was teaching to my Sunday School class, from the Word Aflame Power Hour curriculum.

I don't remember the name of the curriculum but it was about plugging into Jesus as our source of spiritual power. In the class, I played the electrician who taught the students how to understand prayer and worship as a means to stay connected to Jesus, just like a cord into an outlet.

The song went something like this:

"Plugged In! Turned On! Generating the Power! Plugged In! Turned On! Generating the Power, in Jesus' Name!"

After singing that song for a few moments, a massive gust of wind, way greater than any of the gusts of wind that had been blowing that night, came right at me. Across the street, the massive gust of wind picked up a street-light right off of it's base and threw the lamp crashing down into the street, smashing it into pieces and causing the street-light to point at me in my direction, on the other side. The massive gust of wind then blew on past me, nearly knocking me over as it went.

To this day, I remain uncertain as to what actually happened. All of the answers in the poll above have crossed my mind. What do you all think it was?

It was the Spirit of the Lord no doubt. Bearing witness that he was hearing you.

The Spirit nearly knocked him over with a pole?

To clarify, the street light was laying in the road, about 20 feet from me; however it was, after falling, pointing in my direction. I was not in any danger of being hit by it, or anything like that.

After I regained my wits, I called 911 to report it. Some students living in a frat house were outside on the upper deck of their two story, and they saw it. Others who came up walking by, as well.

Several of us tried to flag down cars to slow down and go around, but one vehicle actually drove right over it.

Police arrived and I gave my statement, and they cleared the road. I could probably still find where it happened, even though the street light was soon afterward replaced.

Oh, the stories I could tell, of being a college student and apostolic evangelist at a University of WI campus!!!
