JOSHUA TIME 285

Navy SEALs are always taught to:

1) Keep your priorities in order and,

2) Know when to act without hesitation.

A Navy SEAL was attending some college courses between assignments,
after having completed missions in Iraq and Afghanistan.

One of the courses was taught by a professor who was an avowed atheist
and a member of the ACLU. One day he shocked the class when he came in,
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."

When it got down to the last couple of minutes, the SEAL 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 SEAL went back to his seat and sat there silently.

The other students, shocked and stunned, sat there looking on in
silence.

Noticeably shaken when the professor eventually came to, he looked at
the SEAL and asked, "What the hell is the matter with you? Why did you
do that?"

The SEAL calmly replied, "God was too busy today protecting America's
soldiers who are protecting your right to talk and act stupid. So, He
sent me."
