The Anointing of the Prophet"No," they said. "That's part of it, but it didn't end there."
I asked them to tell me what happened, for I had no

I saw a mini-vision of a woman from my congregation
walking down the street. I saw a man pull up to the curb in his
automobile and sound the horn. The woman got in the car and
they drove out in the country. I was sitting in the back seat. They
committed adultery.
Suddenly I was conscious of being behind the pulpit again. I
