The way to God is through Jesus, the Holy Spirit and The Bible. I dont believe a certain Denomination of Church or anything else is need or is mentioned in the Bible as being they way.
I do remember quite well the running joke about the good old blue bucket… But my question now goes to the serious side of things. I’ve been hearing about guys using blue PVC or blue objects as attractions for coyotes…supposedly they can see blue pretty well.
Is anyone here using this technique? Can anyone tell the difference if it’s really true? Been thinking about trying a few after Christmas.
Is this an early or really late April fools joke? I can't make out squat in these pics. I do believe i can make out 2 or 3 raccoons, and maybe Waldo...
He was the clump to the right of the address sign. No Joke!
Man! He sure is blended in good. Looks almost cartoonish in the snow. In case you haven't see him yet, Waldo is up in the tree about five feet up from the top of the sign. You can just make out the tassel on his hat and some of his striped shirt if you squinch your eyes just right...
You can absolutely deny.Islam. That's an easy prove. Didn't even come about until somewhere around 600 AD.
… Islam is an offshoot of Judaism it acknowledges most of the people in the Old Testament… Abraham and the like … as does Christianity… the prophet is just different
Categorically very different. They still deny Jesus as God, even though the book of Isaiah prophesied that he would b, "shall be called Emmanuel meaning God is with us". I
They deny that.
Interestingly enough when we Catholics refer to ," Mary , Mother of God" , protestants get butt hurt over that term there's scriptural reference for it . " Mother of Emmanuel, God is with Us".
I always leaned a large flat rock against the conibear giving the mink a tunnel of sorts to aim for. I would also set up the corners, and middle on both sides.
#150s on the corners, colony traps in the middle. .
You were wrong. Once you saw their tracks all over the place, you shoulda just went back to your truck to get your rifle, nestle into a secure hidey hole, and begun some rapid fire target practice (into a safe direction of course). Nothing rattles a belligerent trespasser than a bunch of purposeful high-powered rifle shots nearby. No real need to talk to anyone. All a trespasser is going to do is lie to you anyway,
I found the Tug Trash YouTube channel a few days ago. I'm enjoying it immensely.

Ian has good videos on blue crabs, stone crabs, spiny lobsters, shrimping, all sorts of fishing, frog gigging and all sorts of hunting, with the videos mostly containing him cooking what he catches too.
Here's a video on hunting nutria. It looks like great fun.
My sister and brother inlaw where involved in a scam/fraud (no fault of their own) that cost them 5 figures. He talked to FBI because it fell under their jurisdiction and they located the account the money went to but they told him if it wasn't at a quarter million they wouldn't investigate it.
Living each day with a conscious effort to build my relationship with God, and recognize his hand in all things and obey promptings, is not always easy, but has brought me peace and joy through troubled times. I read this poem in the newspaper years ago and it struck a chord with me. (I needed his help at that time in my life, so I committed it to memory.):
Each morning when I wake I say I'll place my hand in God's today with faith and trust that by my side, He'll walk with me my steps to guide. He leads my with the tenderest care when days are dark and I despair. No need for me to understand if I but hold fast to his hand. My hand in His no surer way to make it safely thru the day. By His great bounty I am fed, warmed by his love and comforted. And when at night I seek my rest, and realize how much I'm blessed, My thanks go out to Him, and then, I put my hand in God's again.
I have gone through many health problems and heartaches but have been truly blessed. The more my eyes are opened the more I see His hand in the wonderful creations. And the more I recognize His hand in all things, and give thanks, the more wonderful Heaven Hugs I witness (sunsets, wildlife wonders, cloud formations, rock formations, flowers etc...). I'm just trying to live by faith and serve Him. And He gives me opportunities.
I have only heard His words distinctly to me once. But I receive messages that I need in the moment often when studying the scriptures. And I witness His works with gratitude daily.
God lives and loves us and wants us to have eternal Joy.
