VirtueOnline - STACY SAULS AND THE STRIPPER

This one really ought to be from Lark News, but it's not. Apparently a true story as purported by David Virtue at virtueonline.org. Imagine receiving a message from God via the vehicle of a woman's inner thigh & garter. Just chalk it up to God's ways are not your ways, I guess. VirtueOnline - News - Exclusives - STACY SAULS AND THE STRIPPER: "When Lexington Bishop Stacy F. Sauls was in the process of discerning his call to the ordained ministry he took a year's leave of absence from his legal practice in Atlanta and spent the time at General Theological Seminary in New York City testing his vocation. One evening, in the course of his discernment process, the wannabe aspirant for ministry, in company with several other students, decided to go to a strip club in the West Village of Manhattan. Sauls was still, apparently, unsure of his call. A scantily clad woman waltzed down the horseshoe shaped runway and approached the wannabe priest, undressing herself as she strutted her stuff. By the time she reached Sauls she was devoid of most of her clothing. She squatted in front of the future bishop of the Episcopal Church. 'Most of us would be focusing on 'that' part of a woman, but Stacy felt his eyes being drawn to her right leg where a sequined garter belt hung, and on it were written the words 'Go For It'', said a priest. Sauls took that as a divine message from God that he should be ordained. As Sauls later told the story to several small groups of clergy, he was so impressed he uttered out loud, 'Isn't it amazing how God leads us.' At that moment Sauls had an epiphany and the future course of his life was decided. "
