Holy Roller

Holy Roller: [The term is commonly used derisively, as if to describe people literally rolling on the floor or speaking in tongues in an uncontrolled manner. For this usage, the Oxford English Dictionary cites an 1893 memoir by Charles G. Leland, in which he says "When the Holy Spirit seized them..the Holy Rollers..rolled over and over on the floor."[1]

Well apparently Evan was "seized by the Holy Spirit" in church today! He spent the majority of sacrament meeting rolling up and down the isles, speaking a language nobody has yet been able to interpret. (Although, admittedly, there were a few "hi's" that we could make out) :-) It was quite entertaining to watch, and made a few other's smile too. At least he wasn't screaming!

As long as they're not screaming I guess it is all we can hope for.
