Good luck Mark. I took vacation to have all 5 days of the season to give it a go. I’m the guy who talked with you at the Pa trappers convention whose buddy has a farm up that neck of the woods. I plan on setting some duke 155s in likely spots. From my understanding you can set them out without any restrictions. I also have made some boxes with larger 160’s. I probably will try some on a tree with the opening facing down. Let me know how you make out. Maybe I’ll see you up at Herkimer.
I just want the people we vote for to tell us the truth, and not say something to get votes. That is all.
Did Trump claim to be a born-again Christian? That video you posted.... says Family Leadership Summit 2015. 2015. A year before Trump was elected the first time, no?
So Trump admitted to NOT being a born-again Christian BEFORE he was elected the FIRST time. He wasn't hiding anything.
Maybe he has subsequently called himself a Christian (I really do not know whether he has or not?) but remember that there are probably PLENTY of people out there who consider themselves "Christians" because their parents took them to church on Easter and Christmas. There are probably even MORE that consider themselves Christians because they believe that Christ was the Savior... even though they've never had a personal relationship with Him, or even asked forgiveness.
I think it is important, Chancey, to remember, that not everyone is on the same level of their spiritual journey as you are. It is not uncommon for people to go from being believers, to atheists, back to believers, to doubters, to maybe someday back to believers. This is a personal issue for every individual... what they believe, or don't. I don't think it's fair to group a satan worshipper in with someone that believes in Christ but has no relationship with Him, do you?
I'm sorry to say it, but hardcore, my-way-or-the-highway believers have driven more people from Christianity than atheists ever have.
I did admire some old time trappers like EJ Dailey, O.L. Butcher, V.E. “Wildcat” Lynch, Pat Sedlak and Walter Arnold. True woodsmen. However, I do my own thing with some advice from trappers that are on this forum.
This is when it becomes extremely difficult to follow JESUS.. when you have people who are mean and just plain rotten to the core. I don’t know how JESUS did it,, I know he was the messiah, but he still was human. We ain’t even sposed to think about the things that we think would be rightful justice. Ain’t saying I’m perfect, because like Savell said,, there’s things I’d like to do that I’d rather not mention.
There is indeed evil in this world. And directed hatred towards Christian children who lost their lives is evident. To quote rod Serling “ the greatest trick the devil ever did, was to convince men that he didn’t exist “
It isn’t difficult to follow Jesus. He said that those who follow HIM will be hated. If you are hated by them, you are doing something right. All you can do is follow Jesus and love those who will persecute you because you are a follower of Christ.
None of us are perfect. But we are washed in the blood of Christ and our sins are washed away. We are called to follow Him and that is what we will do.
Keep your head up and pray for the salvation of the lost.
Pray for all those that lost their lives in Texas. Pray for everyone. Live your life to honor our Lord and Savior.
I’m not sure who said it, but it goes something like this. Live your life close to Jesus because you may be the only Bible some people ever read.
Another vote for triticale. Its cheap. A guy can almost always get it to germinate end emerge, A real challenge out here in the desert. We try to plant in August, ahead of a rain if possible, and it will explode. Son enough the deer will be on it. Mix a good rate of purple stop turnips in makes it even better. Interestingly enough several years back we learned that the turnips were being used by wild ring necked pheasants as winter food. Of course we also plant grain sorghum and Milo for the pheasants, but the deer tend to wipe them out during the milky stage.
What's more disturbing to me than the Epstein video is the video of Trump being asked if he has ever asked God for forgiveness. His first answer wasn't very good, and he failed miserably the next time they asked him.
Repentance of sin and asking forgiveness from God is fundamental Christian doctrine. I voted for Trump twice, but I do not trust him.
Have you ever really thought Trump was a washed-in-the-blood, born-again Christian? I believe like many Americans, probably even most Americans these days, Trump believes in God but has never really been a practicing Christian.
But, I give him a lot more respect for answering that question honestly, even knowing it would alienate a large part of his base, than I would have if he straight up lied about it and said that he did, if he didn't.
So if someone doesn't believe in God or Christ in the way you feel that they should... that makes them untrustworthy, in your eyes? Even if they're honest about it? I find that pretty sad, really. Isn't it the unfaithful that the born-again Christians are supposed to be showing God's love and mercy to... letting their light shine so that those that don't believe may see the goodness in those that do follow Christ?
There aren't many people in this world that I do trust, but a full 50% of them don't believe in God and/or Jesus at all, and I promise you, you won't meet any better, more genuine people than they are.
Always 2 at each spot within 15 yards of each other, but theres reds grays and yotes here. My limited experience is i am more likely to have 2 foxes than 2 coyotes caught though. Have had coon fox doubles, yote fox doubles but never a cat canine double
