One
day a man went to a horse stable and said that, "I
want to learn to ride. Can I get a very
tame, gentle horse.
The
cowboy led him to an old mare and said, "Here,
she'll do perfect. There is one thing though. She was
trained by a Christian. Instead of Giddy-up and whoa, she
was taught Amen and Halleluiah."
The
man was reluctant.
Again,
he was told. "Not to worry. Just remember Halleluiah
and Amen. It's that easy. She is very well trained and
will follow every command."
The
man got on the horse and began riding. Everything was
going well when suddenly there was a very loud noise.
It
spooked the horse and she began running wildly down the
trail. The man began yelling, "Whoa!
Whoa!! Whoa!!!
There
was no response, and he began to get worried. He tried to
think what he was told. Amen, yea that's it, Amen.
He
began yelling, "Amen! Amen!! Amen!!! and the horse
came to an abrupt stop doing exactly as she was
instructed.
None
too early either! They were standing right on the edge of a large
cliff. The man leaned forward to look over the edge while
wiping his brow. When he saw how far down it was he
realized how disastrous this could have been.
Realizing
how this could have ended and being happy to be alive, he
leaned back in the saddle breathing a sigh of relief while
saying,
"Hall-e-lu-iah"
