The Christian Bear

A man decided to skip church one Sunday and head to the hills to do some bear hunting. As he rounded the corner on a perilous twist in the trail, he and a bear collided, sending him and his rifle tumbling down the mountainside. Luckily for him, he was able to grab his rifle, with just one shot to save himself and take out the bear.

The gunshot went off and unfortunately, it was a miss.

Now the bear was charging after him and there was no time to reload.

“Oh, Lord,” the man prayed, “I’m so sorry for skipping church today to come out here and hunt. Please forgive me and grant me just one wish . . . Please make a Christian out of that bear that’s coming at me. Please, Lord!” That very instant, the bear skidded to a halt, fell to its knees, clasped its paws together and began to pray aloud right at the man’s feet. “Dear God” the bear said, “Bless this food I am about to receive.”
