A Baptist preacher is being pursued through the woods by a huge, ravenous bear. As he runs for his life, he stumbles and the bear is on him. The preacher shouts at the Heavens, “O Lord, hear my prayer, and turn this terrible beast into a Christian!”
A thunderous voice from the sky says, “I have heard your prayer, my good and faithful servant!”
Immediately the bear folds his paws together and says, “O Lord, we give thanks for this meal which we are about to eat. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
Scene: Judas Iscariot fleeing the charging bear. He stumbles over shredded remains of Roman soldiers and splintered timbers… “Betray this” A scream, a roar….fade to black.
23 From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some youths came out of the town and jeered at him. “Go on up, you baldhead!” they said. “Go on up, you baldhead!” 24 He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the LORD. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the youths. 25 And he went on to Mount Carmel and from there returned to Samaria.
Now if we could just get Elisha to visit the Kos Convention…
Hmm. This is the second kinda-sorta-borderline Jesus/Christian joke in just a few days. Not to mention some of the responses. I like this site. But…Just Hmm.
At a Jesuit retreat house I once saw a hand sketched picture of Jesus with his eyes closed and his mouth wide open in the middle of a loud guffaw. The picture was entitled “Jesus Laughing” It was, to say the least, an image I had not previously considered.
In other words, F.I.C., one mick to another, lighten up.
“Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they shall be one flesh.”
For at least an hour or so.

Beareishith—in the beginning was the Bear and it was nailed to the shith.
All of which brings to mind the old joke —

Jeff, that was outstanding.
Bart Simpson: “What do we need church shoes for, Jesus wore sandals.”
Homer: “Well, maybe if he had better arch support, they wouldn’t have caught him.
Since you started it, Jeff…

Rob, I love quoting that one at my kids when they give me grief for my hairline. Hasn’t worked yet, but you never know.
After that whole “Samson” thing, God likes the bald man better.
I used to live along the road from Felicity to Bethel. Wouldn’t recommend walking along it; the ditches are deep, the berm’s narrow, and the cars FLY.

Are you testing us, Jeff?
