Hello God!

As some of you may know, I post at the Save the Wren Cross Blog. I receive e-mails from folks working to restore the Wren Cross to its place behind the altar in the Wren Chapel at the College of William and Mary. For more information, see Save the Wren Cross. The following is an e-mail I received. I was not asked to post it but it just somehow fits in my blog and it also shows the marked difference in attitude and courage between our elected "leaders" and the men and women who defend our great nation. So in tribute the all of them in all of the branches of the service - here's to you - smile and pass it on... Subject: Hello God! 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 a vowed 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 hell 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 shit and act like an asshole. So, He sent me." KEEP IT GOING............. Ooh rah!
