You never would have known

Name: Chad
Scripture: Acts 16
These men are servants of the Most High God, who are telling you the way to be saved." She kept this up for many days. Finally Paul became so troubled that he turned around and said to the spirit, "In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to come out of her!"

OAP: In another translation it says that Paul became so annoyed. The image I have in my head is of Paul walking around and a girl with a bullhorn is following him, shouting out that Jesus saves, Cut to Paul banging his head on the wall.

I am taking this the wrong way, I have no desire to do this right now. This passage stood out to me because I saw it as ammunition against Christians I find annoying, justification. I made some interesting ideas concerning the last part of chapter 16, but its 3 AM and if I were to comprehend them and write and ponder and care then I would be awake much longer. I am not willing to do that. I am not going to do that. The gut reaction is to hide my sloth and quickly write some explication without thought, it would take five minutes and then no one would ever know that I didn't want to do soap tonight, in fact would probably been able to convince myself that I did it.
But instead I am going to deal with my desires to blow this off, mostly just by stating it both here and in prayer.
