My Mom's First Blog Mentiont
An e-mail joke forwarded from my Mom:
"Subject: An Atheist was walking..
An atheist was taking a walk through the woods.
What majestic trees!
What powerful rivers!
What beautiful animals!" he said to himself.
As he was walking alongside the river he heard a
rustling in the bushes behind him. He turned to
look. He saw a 7 foot grizzly charge towards him.
He ran as fast as he could up the path. He looked
over his shoulder and saw that the bear was
closing in on him. He looked over his
shoulder again, and the bear was evencloser.
He tripped and fell on the ground. He rolled over
to pick himself up but saw the bear right on top
of him, reaching for him with his left paw
and raising his right paw to strike him.
At that instant the Atheist cried out: "Oh my God!..."
Time stopped.
The bear froze.
The forest was silent.
As a bright light shone upon the man, a voice came
out of the sky:
"You deny my existence for all of these years, you
teach others I don't exist, and even credit creation
to a cosmic accident.
Do you expect me to help you out of this
predicament? Am I to count you as a believer?"
The atheist looked directly into the light, "It
would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask You
to treat me as a Christian now, but perhaps could
you make the BEAR a Christian?"
"Very well," said the voice.
The light went out.
The sounds of the forest resumed.
And then the bear dropped his right paw, brought
both paws together and bowed his head and spoke:
"Lord, bless this food, which I am about to
receive from thy bounty through Christ our Lord
Amen."
