Re: A Christian Hunter\'s Devotions and Studies
AMEN, Buckee!! WOW! What a testimony, I never had to go through aything like that at all. I grew up in a Christian home, and never really thought too much about it. We didnt swear drink or smoke and never could understand why anyone would want to. My Grandparents also were Christians, and to this day my Grandmother, my fathers mom, really impressed me with her faith. Whenever we'd go visit them she would go whip up a quick "lunch". I tell you, were talkin fryed chicken, real mashed potatoes,gravy....all from scratch. Then before we'd eat, she'd say grace....WOW!!! You knew she was talking to the lord!!! Her voice would be so reverent, and would lower a couple octives....really a Godly woman! Well anyway, I accepted Christ at a young age, and never looked back! You know, the older I get the more it means to me! You wake up in the morning with a sense of gratefullness to be alive! I always tell people that when Im in my treestand, Im just a "little " bit closer to God!! You know, I've had four close to death experiences to date, any one of them should have done me in, but I believe the Lord has me here for some purpose yet to be completed. One of the experiences, I was helping my neighbor harvest corn. I got the tractor stuck while chopping a load, and he came over to pull me out with the big Versatile. I hooked the chain onto both tractors, except I forgot to put a clip in the clevis of the tractor to pull me out. He started to pull and "POW"!!!! my window shatterd!! he came running back, opened the door and was white as a gost!!! Seems the clevis spread open and came flying back right into the cab and missed my head by inches!! I didnt even notice that it had till he pointed to the tear in the insulation above my head! Seems it hit the crosspiece of the front cab window and riccochet up and hit the ceiling. I looked at him and laughed, and said, I guess the Lord dont want me home today!!! keep this tread going, I just may live to read it all!!
