For an outdoorsman or outdoorswoman, there is no better place to be than in the woods or on the water. Most of us look for every opportunity to get out into the outdoors to spend time alone or along with others. There is something that draws us back over and over again. For many until the day we die.

For those of us with kids or grandkids, it is one of the best places to introduce them to not only God's amazing creation, but more importantly the Creator Himself. There are so many things that point us to Jesus Christ and all that he has done in creation. If we allow God to speak through all that He created, introducing Him to others comes easier.

Each of us comes to places in our lives where we have to make long-lasting decisions. We can choose to run in to trouble or run away from it. The choice is usually easy to make if we think before acting. Then there are times when we know what's right and we don't need to wait… we just need to run.

On today's program, we visit with a young man who grew up amongst the crawling and slithering creatures of the Okefenokee Swamp of the deep south of Georgia. He dealt with all kinds of situations when he had to make choices to run or stand. Thankfully he made the right choices.

There is a special relationship between a father and son. Often it's a bond that will carry far beyond the death of either one or the other. In our lives, we truly don't know how much of an impact we have on our
children, for the good or bad. We need to realize the people we see and talk to on a daily basis are watching us closely to see if our words match our deeds.
