MERRY XMAS

[Bob Needham]

I thought a blessing for the bounty we receive was in order --- even though
we feel we get what we deserve a little thankfulness can't hurt. Merry
Christmas and Happy New Year to All
As an atheist walked through the forest, he smiled at
the beauty that was all around him and said, "What
natural wonders the powers of evolution have created."
Just then he heard a rustling near the river. He went
to investigate and a 7-foot-tall grizzly bear was
tearing down the path towards him him. The man took
off like a shot, and when he got up the courage to
look back, he saw the bear was catching up fast.
He tried with all his strength to pick up the pace,
but he tripped and crashed to the ground. As he tried
to get up, the bear jumped on his chest and picked up
one paw to whack him.

The atheist screamed, "Oh my God!!!"

Time stopped! The bear froze. The forest was silent.
Even the river stopped moving.
As a bright light shone upon the man, a voice boomed
from the heavens, "You deny my existence for all of
these years, 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," the voice said.

The light went out, the river ran again, and the
sounds of the forest resumed. And then the bear
dropped its right paw, brought both paws together,
bowed its head and spoke:

"Lord, for this food which I am about to receive, I am
truly thankful."

Best of the Season
Bob

Thanks, Bob. A good laugh, even off-topic, is never amiss.

And Merry Christmas to you, too!

Peace,
Cinnabar
