Yes, but some folks want to find a way to take a dig at him, no matter what he does.


John 14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

Interesting story. In those times of bad situations the easy thing to do is make bad decisions. Don't panic and stay in place is what you should do.

You'll get labeled.


There comes a point liberalism has gone too far, we're past that point.

Going in the water any time of the year in the northern states is not good.

I’ve been overboard twice during our “summer” months and in the water a handful of times in the winter while trapping. It is, to say the least, no fun.

Glad you made it through, Bruce.

Never said it was good

… but the story is about my man Bruce standing in place for 12 hours

… so I found the chorus fitting

“ I….I stand … not crawling…. Not falling down “
