A story told twice in two days

This was told by Wayne Wager and Father Tom, both in their sermons this weekend.

There was a woman in a church who claimed she was able to talk to Jesus. She said she could talk to him and he would listen and he would talk back to her and she could hear him. Many people in the church revered her as very blessed. One of the elders of the church was more skeptical and he asked her in a condecending tone, "So I hear you can talk to Jesus?" She replied that she could. He then asked her for proof. "If you're so sure of this, could you ask him to tell you what the last thing I confessed to him was?" She said that she would. A few days later, the elder ran into the woman around town and asked her, "Did you talk to Jesus today?" She replied that she had. He then asked her, "So...what was the last thing I confessed?" She said matter of factly, "I don't know, he didn't tell me." The elder looked at her puzzled and she finished her statement, "He forgot."
