Ninety-two-year-old Pauline Jacobi had just finished loading her groceries into her car at a local Wal-Mart in Dyer County, Tennessee. She got in her car, and a moment later, a man climbed into the passenger side. He said he had a gun and that he would shoot her if she did not hand over her money. What she did next did not involve pepper-spray or martial arts, but it did save her life and may have saved his.\n

Pauline calmly refused her would-be robber three times. Then she said, \u201cYou know, as quick as you kill me, I\u2019ll go to heaven and you\u2019ll go to hell.\u201d Then she told him that he needed to ask God for forgiveness. \u201cJesus is in this car,\u201d she said, \u201cand He goes with me everywhere I go.\u201d Jacobi said that the man looked around, and then tears began to come to his eyes.<\/p>\n

For 10 more minutes, Jacobi shared with the man. Finally, he said, \u201cI think I will go home tonight and pray.\u201d But Jacobi told him that he did not need to wait to pray; he could pray now.<\/p>\n

Then Jacobi, voluntarily, offered the man all the money she had on her, 10 bucks, on one condition\u2014that he not spend the money on whiskey. After that, the man kissed her on the cheek, got out of the car, and walked away. <\/p><\/div>\n
