An atheist was walking through the woods.
"What majestic trees"! "What powerful rivers"! "What beautiful animals"! He said to himself. As he was walking alongside the river, he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him. He turned to look. He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him. He ran as fast as he could up the path. He looked over his shoulder & saw that the bear was closing in on him. He looked over his shoulder again, & the bear was even closer. He tripped & fell on the ground. He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear was right on top of him, reaching for him with his left paw & raising his right paw to strike him.
At that instant the Atheist cried out, "Oh my God!" Time Stopped.The bear froze.The forest was silent.As a bright light shone upon the man, a voice came out of the sky. "You deny my existence for all these years, teach others I don't exist and even credit creation to cosmic accident." "Do you expect me to help you out of this predicament? Am I to count you as a believer"? The atheist looked directly into the light, "It would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask you to treat me as a Christian now, but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christian"?"Very Well," said the voice.
The light went out. The sounds of the forest resumed. And the bear dropped his right paw, brought both paws together, bowed his head & spoke: "Lord bless this food, which I am about to receive from thy bounty through Christ our Lord, Amen."

OK, so I don't know what to post
My sister Shaunna has a great blog. I enjoy reading her posts, mostly because she writes about stuff that I participate in too. Her latest entries about the trail ride and branding are nice. She has lots of typos though, which drives me crazy!!
So, I'm really getting excited about going to Brentwood for our annual family reunion/camp out. We are going to be there August 1 - 4. I am hoping to plan some "survivor" style games for everyone on Sunday August 3. Monday August 4 will be my 1st anniversary with my handsome hubby, Duane.
After Brentwood, Duane and I will be spending 8 days and 7 nights in Cozumel! I booked us an all inclusive (drinks, meals, and diving!) vacation. I'm soooooo looking forward to it! No work, no kids, no phones, nobody else to worry about except my hubby and me! Yay!!! I am craving being under water - there is no other feeling like being suspended in water - it is very peaceful.
