I told him, "we are about to pray for my dog. He said, "what? Why are we gonna pray for a dog? That's stupid." I said, "bro, you just broke my dogs tail, and your gonna help me pray for it. Now grab her tail right here and start prayin' that God will heal her" we started praying and he looks up at me and says, "holy sshhh..........! Dude! I felt the bones come back together! O my god! O my god! O my god! That was hecka crazy!" I said, " wanna go to church with me Sunday? He said yes but it was a month or two before he actually came lol

ok, now just imagine his reaction if you had told him, "ya, i picked that up at my church--sorry, but you prolly wouldn't be interested in paying the price" or some similar--like Christ did, you know; "Count the cost"--instead of that proselytizing stuff the pastor showed you...
