The Pastor and The Bear

It seems a pastor from Maine skipped services one Sunday to go bear

hunting in the mountains. As he turned the corner along the path,
he
and a bear collided. The pastor stumbled backwards, slipped off the

trail, and began tumbling down the mountain -- with the bear in hot

pursuit. Finally the pastor crashed into a boulder, sending his
rifle
flying in one direction and breaking both his legs.

As the bear closed in, the pastor cried out in desperation, "Lord,
I'm
sorry for what I have done. Please forgive me and save me! Lord,
please make that bear a Christian."

Suddenly the bear skidded to a halt at the pastor's feet, fell to
its
knees, clasped its paws together and said, "God, bless this food
which
I am about to eat."
