A dose of encouragement - what we are fighting for

I have to post this because it puts in "relief" what the Save the Wren Cross effort really is about. Reality and our national heritage vs arrogance. Leave a comment and I'll remove this, otherwise, smile when you read it and remember the cold, harsh winters when not-yet-American citizens settled in Williamsburg and when the Wren Building with its Wren Chapel was built. This comes from a lady who is working to save the Wren Cross and get it out of the closet. [She did not ask me to post this but it is too good to be left in the ethers of the e-mail world.

Maybe we need to call in the Marines, the United States Marines that is.

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.............
