A Deer Camp Suggestion

[Buckrub]

I feel sorta silly saying this, cause I DETEST folks that toot their own horn, but I have a suggestion for all you deer camp hunters.

Today, I ordered a Large Print (HEY, we're old, ok?) NASB Bible with our Deer Club Name printed on the front. We do get into a few discussions down there during the long Arkansas season, and we have one old tattered Bible that belonged to a now-deceased member, that sits on the fireplace mantle. I use it, but many pages are missing and it's fragile.

I figured I ain't got TOO many more breaths left and maybe this will inspire some young member some day to read it. Plus, I need it to pound sense into some of these hardheads!!! Just kidding, but we do get into some discussions and I hate having verses on the tip of my tongue and can't remember.

If you have a common place to display it, I suggest you get one for your camp. It cost me about the price of a premium box of cartridges.

Sad to say in the previous hunt camps I was in the only Christian present was me. Conversations about God seldom arose as the focus was on trying to be successful on the hunt and current family status or events occurring. As for myself I usually like to take a copy of the monthly booklet called “Our Daily Bread” that provides a few daily verses and describes the intent of the message found here. There are some nights I was glad just to crawl into my bunk from exhaustion and then other nights especially on rainy days it was comforting to read the booklet containing God’s Word when I had a free moment from the rest of the group.

Your post made me smile, because it brought back a found memory. At elk camp a number years ago we had devotions every night. My old uncle led the first night, and the leadership past from oldest to youngest during the week.It was special to witness God's faithfulness to us in our generations. My son was 12 at the time and when his turn came he did a very good job. The young men witnessed that as we took a break from our normal responsibilities, we had time to reflect on our personal relationship with our Lord and Savior.The Quiet of the mountains with limited earthly distractions certainly does give one time to reflect on our Lord's beautiful creation.
