Members phkrause Posted August 30, 2012 Members Posted August 30, 2012 A country preacher decided to skip services one Sunday to spend the day hiking in the wilderness. Rounding a sharp bend in the trail, he collided with a bear and was sent tumbling down a steep grade. He landed on a rock and broke both legs. With the ferocious bear charging at him from a distance, the preacher prayed, "O Lord, I'm so sorry for skipping services today. Please forgive me and grant me just one wish--make a Christian out of that bear that's coming at me!" At that very instant, the bear skidded to a halt, fell to his knees, clasped his paws together, and began to pray aloud at the preacher's feet: "Dear God, please bless this food I am about to receive." Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. Proverbs 29;2

Dottie Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 I have a friend who always asks "what then?" to a joke. So here's his question: If the preacher was alone, who was there to see what happened? (forgive me, I couldn't help it) Quote
Planey Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 Dottie, if the bear could pray (in English) then he could surely have told someone about it... Graeme Quote Graeme____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
