Had a good week. Sorry for not bloggin' much lately. Starting to wonder why I do it at all.

I took an average size doe with my bow on Saturday morning. Struggled trying to decide if I wanted to take a doe or wait for a nice buck, but decided to put some meat in the freezer. Made a decent shot and didn't have to track it far at all. I went home and brought Spencer back with me to help me find it and bring it home. It was fun for him, and I look forward to sharing the hunting experience with my boys in coming years. If I take another deer this year with my bow, I'm going to wait for something with a decent set of antlers. It was funny though on Saturday. After I shot the doe, I had more deer come in all around me that just hung around for about another hour. Two were bucks with smaller racks. I let them go, hoping they grow for next year.

Had a good Sunday yesterday. Wade's sermon from Jonah was a good personal check:

Jonah 2: 7-9

7 "When my life was ebbing away, I remembered you, LORD , and my prayer rose to you, to your holy temple. 8 "Those who cling to worthless idols forfeit the grace that could be theirs. 9 But I, with a song of thanksgiving, will sacrifice to you. What I have vowed I will make good. Salvation comes from the LORD ."

How much grace have I forfeited in my life (in total)? How much grace today? Why is it so easy to love and give worth, energy, devotion, time, interest, passion, talent, to things other than the self-existant, all powerful, all knowing God above all other gods- my LORD?

LORD, be my LORD today!
