Enjoy your “Pause for Purpose” newsletter very much.
Re: The woman in the pharmacy who crawled to the counter on her
knees…my guess would be back problems where standing for an
extended period could be painful and damaging. Perhaps this was
eased somewhat when she dropped to her knees.

I doubt any religious purpose, although I did witness folks crawling
on their way to the altar in Fatima (a healing center much the same
as Lourdes). Those who had been there before actually wore knee-
pads – which took a little away from their real purpose for being
there. I suppose crawling on one’s knees is a way of “bowing to
the Lord” in a somewhat deferential and reverent manner.

Another explanation of course is that the woman is as crazy as a
loon!!!

With regards,
