God Is Busy
e-mail

Posted on 04/14/2004 3:36:33 PM PDT by cpforlife.org

An East Coast Ivy League atheist professor was teaching a university class and he told the class that he was going to prove that t here is no God.

He said, "God, if you are real, then I want you to knock me off this platform. I'll give you 15 minutes!"

Ten minutes went by all the time taunting God, "Here I am, God. I'm still waiting." As the last minute approached he smugly smiled.

A young US Marine just released from active duty and newly registered in the class walked up to the professor, hit him full force on the chin sending him flying from his platform and crashing to the floor.

The professor struggled up, badly shaken and yelled, "WHAT's the matter with you! Why did you do that?"

The Marine replied, "God was busy; He sent The Marines"

~Life is good.~

This came from a Deacon and Brother Knight of Columbus. I think I've seen a variation, but this is the best!

From the halls of Montezuma
To the shores of Tripoli,

We fight our country's battles
In the air, on land, and sea.

First to fight for right and freedom,
And to keep our honor clean,

We are proud to claim the title
Of United States Marines.

Our flag's unfurl'd to every breeze
From dawn to setting sun;

We have fought in every clime and place
Where we could take a gun.

In the snow of far-off northern lands
And in sunny tropic scenes,

You will find us always on the job -
The United States Marines.

Here's health to you and to our Corps
Which we are proud to serve;

In many a strife we've fought for life
And never lost our nerve.

If the Army and the Navy
Ever gaze on Heaven's scenes,

They will find the streets are guarded
By United States Marines.

"They will find the streets are guarded

I am beginning to believe it . . . May God bless and protect all our troops and people in harm's way.

The View from a Chaplain serving in Iraq (Fallujah)
"It is all war, all the time. The bad guys are regrouping. So are the Marines. The brawl will begin again...probably tonight."
