A country preacher decided to skip services 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. Before he knew it, his rifle went one way and he went the other, landing on a rock and breaking both legs.<br /><br />That was the good news. The bad news was the ferocious bear charging at him from a distance, and he couldn't move. <br /><br />"Oh, Lord," the preacher prayed, "I'm so sorry for skipping services today to come out here and hunt. Please forgive me and grant me just one<br />wish . . . please make a Christian out of that bear that's coming at me. Please, Lord!" <br /><br />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 preacher's feet.<br /><br />"Dear God, please bless this food that I am about to receive!"
