This story reminds me of Acts 2, when the disciples were filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues at Pentecost. People then also thought they were crazy, and Peter was filled with courage so that he could preach fearlessly to the crowd.
COEUR d'ALENE -- A Coeur d'Alene woman who is a member of a northern Idaho Pentecostal church says she "spoke in tongues" to help scare off a burglar.
The woman, who hasn't been named by police, says she used the religious-inspired language that sounds to many like gibberish to fend off a man who allegedly approached her and her 7-year-old daughter with a knife.
According to a police report from Sunday, the 36-year-old believes speaking in tongues "freaked the burglar out."
Some members of her church think speaking in tongues is a linguistic gift from God.
The woman says she also kicked the man as he fled, before calling police.
