Jack loved to hunt. Every winter he went out with his friends on the weekends looking for
bear. One weekend, he couldn’t find a friend to go with, so he went out into the
woods himself.
In the middle of a forest, he was taking a break when suddenly he was confronted
by the largest, meanest looking bear he had ever seen. In his fear, all attempts
to shoot the bear were unsuccessful.
Finally, he turned and ran as fast as he could in a vain attempt to outrun the bear. Jack ran and ran and ran, until he ended up at the edge of a very steep cliff. His hopes were dim.
Seeing no way out of his predicament, and with the bear closing in rather
quickly, Jack got down on his knees, opened his arms, and exclaimed, “Dear Lord!
Please give this bear some *religion*!”
The skies darkened and there was lightning in the air. Just a few feet short of
Jack, the bear came to an abrupt stop, and glanced around, somewhat confused. He
seemed to have become very calm and friendly...
Suddenly, the bear looked up into the sky, put his paws together, bent his head and said, “Thank you, Lord, for the food I am about to receive.”
