I am proud to say that I believe in God. I have had too many things happen to just be consequences. I thank God everytime I am able to just go set in a treestand. If I am in a stand then I am healthy, not sitting in a hospital room with a family member, not sitting in a funeral home , that men have given their lives for our freedom to be living in a country where we can hunt, and the list goes on!!I tell God that my prayers are simple. I thank Him that I still have my parents that I believe thru the Grace of God are still alive after going thru numerous operations, heart surgery , back surgery etc, etc. I thank Him for bringing my wife to me as we each had never been married living 25 miles apart. To have a Christian wife who has never drank {coffee or alcohol}, smoked or done drugs is almost unheard of today. Needless to say she is wonderful. If you have gotten this far always remember this, if lets say you are 35 years old and live till you are 75 years old then that is only 40 years to waste by being a Christian. BUT if there is a God and Heaven then ETERNITY is a very long time is comparison to the 40 years you lived as a Christian. I grew up in church and got away from it when I was about 18. I lived under conviction until I was 37, I am now 47. I am thankful to God that He did not give up on me!!! Opps sorry I got sidetracked , Yes I do thak God for every deer I harvest and I pray at the begining of each hunt that I do not would a deer and not find it. If I do loose one I pray that His other creatures will find it and eat it. If you got this far DO NOT give up on God because He is always there wheather you are in a tree stand , a bar , at work or wherever and he is always there for you and me!!!
