One day this Preacher decided that he would skip church and go
hunting. When in the woods he came upon a bear. He started
running, and he ran for a while until all of a sudden he
tripped over a tree root. At this moment he was almost face
to face with the bear. He dropped to his knees and said,
''Dear Lord, if there is one wish I would want for you to
give me it would be to make this bear a Christian.'' And at
that instant?the bear halted to a stop and dropped to his
knees and said, ''Dear Lord, thank you for the food I am
about to receive!''
