Actually the "fit" that I was refering to was the way that some folks will
shake and tremble when the power of the Holy Ghost moves over them.  I used
to believe that since it seemed that no one in the bible shook--why should I
do this thing, but I just found that Samson would shake himself before his
great strength would come on him.  I figure if God would use a shaking or a
trembling to strengthen him, then He could do the same with anyone who would
allow Him to perform the same thing.

In Jesus, Billy
