Get Down and Pray
Four men were enlisted into the military in World War 2. Three were very religious men, and the other was a lawyer who didn’t want to die.
On the night before a large battle, the lawyer went to the others and said,”When the first shot flies, get down on your knees in prayer, and the lord will protect thee throughout the day.”
The others thought it was a good idea, and would be an excellent test of their faith.
The next morning, everyone was ordered to charge a German bunker. When the first shot came, the three religious men got on their knees and prayed to god for protection. The lawyer just kept running towards the bunker.
A young private saw this and asked the lawyer,”Why aren’t you praying as well? Don’t you want God’s protection?”
The lawyer replied,”What for? The good lord has already blessed me with three perfectly still targets to occupy the Germans!”
