Prayers Answered

Once upon a time 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 bear charge towards him.
The atheist 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 even closer.
Then 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, 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..... bowed his head..... then spoke;
"Lord, bless this food, which I am about to receive........ from thy
bounty........ through Christ, our Lord, Amen"

It's tough to pull up your socks when you are down, but, it's game time.
