 Monday 26  – Leeside (Friendly)   Do Bears Walk in the Wood?
       An atheist was taking a walk through the woods, admiring all that the ‘accident’
 Saturday 31st – Sherborne
       of  evolution  had  created.    “What  amazing  trees!    What  powerful  rivers!  What
       beautiful animals!” he said to himself.
       As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him.
       He turned to look.  He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him.  He ran as fast
       as he could up the path.  He looked over his shoulder and saw that the bear was
       closing.    He  ran  even  faster,  so  scared  that  tears  were  coming  to  his  eyes.    He
       looked  over  his  shoulder  again,  and  the
       bear  was  even  closer.    His  heart  was

       was silent.   Even the river stopped moving.
       As  a  bright  light  shone  upon  the  man,  a
       voice came out of the sky:
       “You deny My existence for all of these years:  you teach others that I don’t exist:
       and even credit creation to a cosmic accident.  Do you expect Me to help you
       out of this predicament?  Am I to count you as a believer?
       The  atheist  looked  directly  into  the  light:    “It  would  be  hypocritical  of  me  to
       suddenly ask You to treat me as a Christian now, but perhaps could You make the
