I’ve never told this deer hunting story before, but this is what I looked like 60 years ago. It was early one morning, and I had walked about ½ mile into the woods. It found the perfect deer stand, a big tree on a mound. After standing in the cold and seeing nothing I decided …

Pick Your “P”
This week’s Bible Study Fellowship lesson takes us face-to-face with who do we bow down to? In Daniel 3 we find three young Jewish boys ordered to bow to a 90-foot idol King Nebuchadnezzar made. If they refused, they would be thrown into the fiery furnace. The three young men teach us how to trust …
“There Are Hunters & Pretenders…”
“I’m going to be gone this weekend. I’ve got to get ready for the hunt!” Growing up in Arkansas, I heard this phrase all my life. So, when my friend said this the other day, I knew he was a serious deer hunter. Getting ready for the hunt is nothing more than work & money! …
Prepare Before…
If you are or have been in the military or play competitive sports there is a certainty, you will experience grueling preparation & training. I use the word grueling because to survive the contact, the preparedness must be physical, mental, and emotional. It must push the limits. In a culture of fewer & fewer participants …
Confused?
Information, if there is one thing we do not lack in this world, it is information. I found in Google, “that people consume as much as 74 gigabytes per day, which is the equivalent of watching 16 movies.” “Pew Research Center finds that people receive their news from over 3,600 news sources.” You name it …
It Was Juicy…
Yesterday Mary & I enjoyed a delicious & juicy steak at Longhorn Steak House. Halfway through our meal Mary smiled and said, “You’ve got it on you.” Yes, I wear my food well. As we were leaving, I told the manager, “this is evidence that your steaks are good and Juicy.” So, today, the day …
“Hey, Kids, What Time Is It?”
I couldn't wait to get home from school, turn on our black & white TV & hear that famous phrase, “Hey, Kids, What Time Is It? It’s Howdy Doody Time!” This followed with music & kids screaming for joy. The Howdy Doody Show was the most popular children's program from 1947-1960. Howdy Doody, the puppet …
Seems Too Simple…
Have you ever noticed how comfortable doing nothing is? Even more…how the desire to remain comfortable is addictive? Usually, it’s our secret self-talk that creates stupid habits. I knew I should do something, but I didn’t. Frankly, I didn’t want to…I didn't want to change. For some time, I recognized I was losing strength in …
Practice For The Purpose
Football practice always started with “warm up drills”, then moved into contact drills (knocking each other down). After that there were the skill sessions of learning plays & moves…learning what to do, when & how. Then it was gut-check time. We would run wind sprints up and down the field. With my tongue hanging out …
What’s The Plumb Bob In Your Life?
What is a “Plumb Bob”? I found this interesting information on Google; The “plumb bob became a symbolic measure of truth, because it never lies.” It’s an ancient tool going back to the Egyptian & Babylonian ages. It’s “A string tied to a free-hanging weight is always perpendicular to the ground, regardless of who is …
