This thread is one of the greatest blessings I have seen on this site. I truely love the fellowship I have found reading each and every thread. But, I feel that I am led by the Lord to say one thing tomynew" brothers"here at the site.

Church is not a building. Church is a fellowship of belivers. Can you be a beliver and not go to Church, yes, but the Lord says we should gather together, in His name. The Lord also says that where two or more are gathered together in My name, I am there. And finally, a the Lord says a three strand cord is not easily broken.

Now what I feel the Lord is wanting me to say here is this: I have interacted with many of you guys on this site since I joined. I have been and am still very happy to have" met "everyone. I have been helped more than you can imagine in my equipment and hunting, and I have made some " friends ".But Church can be the same as this site. Many people think they are supposed to go to church to" get something " out of it. But I can tell you this, I have met some people here who have a lot to give. Through these posts, you can" feel "the goodnessof the person who wrote it. You can read their posts and know they have a lot to give, not just about the Bible, maybe not even the Bible at all,but about life, morals, being a friend, helping others...etc.... I encourage everyone here to spend some time at the Church of your choice. I know I love the fellowship I have with the members of my Church, and instead of going because YOU are supposed to GET something while you're there, stop and pray and listen for the peaceful small voice of the Lord and see what you have to give. I promise to you, that there is someone there who needs your help or guideance or love. You guys I have interacted with are some really great people, and the world could sure use a lot more of you sharing your knowledge, love and goodness with others. YOU can help make this world a better place. And you might meet some really good hunting buddies there, or you might meetsomeone you can introduce to hunting and it helps them get off drugs, alcohol, or some other bad things.

I just don't like seeing some really good people ( those here on this site ) not using their goodness to bless others. Church is not always what you can get, but often times what you can give.

And, I will say again, this is not a critical post directed at anyone. I was reading the posts and felt led to ask some really good people to consider sharing their goodness with others who might need him or her. I have felt your kindness, and I know that some people on here have truely blessed me, and I am not talking about the Archery questions I have asked, either.

I pray that this post does not offend. It was written with a pure heart, and with good intentions. I promise that It was laid on my heart as a burden that I was supposed to get rid of. And I knew exactly where I was supposed to get rid of it......Right here.

God Bless you all. God bless your families, friends, neighbors and co-workers. I pray that everyone of you have very happy and successful hunts and that you all go out and return home safely. And I pray that you will accept what I have written here, and use what you have inside you to help and lead others. For I tell you this, I can hardly think of anyone more respectable and kind and good, than a Christian Hunter. They are some of God's best work.

Thank You and God bless you all.
