God's Busy....

God's Busy

A United States Marine was attending some college courses between
assignments.  He had completed missions in Iraq and Afghanistan

One of the courses had a professor who was an avowed atheist and a
member of the ACLU

One day the professor shocked the class when he came in.  He looked to
the ceiling and flatly stated, "God, if you are real, then I want you
to knock me off this platform.  I'll give you exactly 15 minutes."

The lecture room fell silent.  You could hear a pin drop.

Ten minutes went by and the professor proclaimed, "Here I am God.  I'm
still waiting."

It got down to the last couple of minutes when the Marine got out of
his chair, went up to the professor, and cold-cocked him; knocking him
off the platform.  The professor was out cold.  The Marine went back to
his seat and sat there, silently.  The other students were shocked and
stunned and sat there looking on in silence.

The professor eventually came to, noticeably shaken, looked at the
Marine and asked, "What the heck is the matter with you?  Why did you
do that?"

The Marine calmly replied, "God was too busy today protecting America 's
soldiers who are protecting your right to say stupid stuff and act like
an idiot.  So, He sent me."

How long has it been since you've had ice cream?

How long has it been since you've had ice cream?
By Lilly Walters

Last week I took my children to a restaurant. My six-year-old son asked if he could say grace. As we bowed our heads, he said, "God is good. God is great. Thank you for the food, and I would even thank you more if mom gets us ice cream for dessert. And liberty and justice for all! Amen!"

Along with laughter from the other customers nearby, I heard a woman remark, "That's what's wrong with this country. Kids today don't even know how to pray! Asking God for ice cream! Why, I never!"

Hearing this, my son burst into tears and asked me, "Did I do it wrong? Is God mad at me?"

As I held him and assured him that he had done a terrific job and God was certainly not mad at him, an elderly gentleman approached the table. He winked at my son and said, "I happen to know that God thought that was a great prayer."

"Really?" my son asked.

"Cross my heart." Then in a theatrical whisper the gentleman added (indicating the woman whose remark had started this whole thing), "Too bad she never asks God for ice cream. A little ice cream is good for the soul sometimes."

Naturally, I bought my kids ice cream at the end of the meal. My son stared at his for a moment and then did something I will remember the rest of my life. He picked up his sundae and without a word walked over and placed it in front of the woman. With a big smile he told her, "Here, this is for you. Ice cream is good for the soul sometimes, and my soul is already good."
