CHRISTIAN SINGLES : GUIDE TO
ENDING LONELINESS AND DEPRESSION Cont.
Chapter 12. Steps To Take Now
It seems a cowboy from Colorado skipped church one Sunday to go bear
hunting in the mountains. As he turned the corner along the path, he and
a bear collided. The cowboy stumbled backwards, slipped off the trail
and began tumbling down the mountain with the bear in hot pursuit.
Finally the cowboy crashed into a boulder, sending his rifle in one
direction and breaking both legs. As the bear closed in, the cowboy
cried out in desperation, "Lord, I'm sorry for what I have done.
Please forgive me and save me! Lord, please make that bear a
Christian." Suddenly, the clouds parted and a beam of light shown
down on the bear. The bear skidded to a halt at the cowboy's feet, fell
to its knees, clasped its paws together and said, "God, bless this
food which I am about to receive."
Just a note for Christian singles

friendship to others. By doing so the dark clouds of loneliness and

A very religious woman went into the local pet shop to buy a parrot
for company. She selected a beautiful bird, but the pet store owner said
he didn't think she'd be happy with this particular parrot because he
had belonged to a salty old sailor who used very bad language.
She replied that she knew with love and care she could break the bird
of his bad habits and have a wonderful companion.
Well, the bird was not to be broken of his blue language and the
woman had to hide him in the spare bedroom every time she had visitors.
Finally, in desperation she told the bird she was going to put him in
the freezer for 10 minutes every time he used bad language. Sure enough
in just a couple of minutes the bird let out a string of obcenities. She
put him in the freezer with him hollering and yelling his head off.
After just a minute or two it got very quiet.....afraid that something
bad had happened to the bird, she opened the door.
Out stepped the parrot, shivering and most pleasantly and politely he
said "excuse my prior behavior, madam. I regret any dismay I may
have caused you and promise never to use improper language again."
Well, the woman was thrilled to hear these promises and was about to say
so when the bird interrupted to say "by the way, madam, what's the
chicken in for?"
