Word at work

Quick story from work this morning. We were finishing up an area and I was in the aisle with one other guy. I felt an impression in my left foot that I identified as a word of knowledge however I had to wait because he was talking. So I hung around until he was leaving and helped him walk some shopping carts back. I looked at him walk a bit and really couldn't tell that he was limping or anything, but hey some people are good at not limping. So I asked him, "does your left foot hurt?" He resonds, "yes." So I asked how he hurt it and after he explained how, he asks me how I knew. So I told him how God will show me pain that people have when he is wanting to heal it and so I offered to pray for him. Then he explains how even though it might not seem like he is a religous person, he does believe in God. He kinda skirted the idea of me praying for him though, so I will try to talk with him tomorrow. I find it interesting how many people with a pretty extensive religous (not necessarily in a bad way) background, live in such a way as to make Christians feel very uneasy around them, yet then when you talk to them about God they open up and are more than willing to express their supposed faith. This guy hasn't ever said anything to me that made me feel uncomfortable like I mentioned, but just in general there have been several people at work who act in such a way that you think they despise Christians and don't believe in God, but then say they are Christians.
