Topics I've Started

Orders placed online @ the Horton site.

10 May 2012 - 01:22 PM

Just in case someone from Horton looks at this :

I placed an order from the on line store on 04/07/2012 and bought some arrows @ $ 48.94 and am still waiting for my order to arrive. You hit my Credit Card for the money !  Trying to talk to someone by phone has not worked out . You have no option for someone who has a question such as this.
No person answers the phone , just the recording !

Getting frustrated !

Hark! The Herald Angles Sing !

19 December 2011 - 10:26 AM

Let's look at the words to  Hark! The Herald Angels Sing.

First, look at all those exclamation marks in the song! These angels must have been very excited, and no wonder! They were proclaiming the birth of Jesus, the “newborn King.”
The second line says “Peace on earth and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled.” Some people are not too crazy about the word “sinner.” But originally it was an archery term that meant the distance between the bull’s eye and where the arrow landed on the target.  Therefore, “sin” meant “to miss the perfect mark.” And it still means that today. Sin means to miss the mark of God’s perfection. The Bible says that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. And because of that sin, we have been separated from God. The first verse of Hark! The Herald Angels Sing tells us WHY Jesus came - to reconcile or join us back together with God. It also tells us TO WHOM Jesus came - “to all nations.” No wonder the angels were so excited!

Verse one tells us why Jesus came. Verse two tells us WHO He was. He is adored in heaven.  He is the everlasting Lord. He is the offspring of a Virgin’s womb. He is God with flesh and bones. He is Deity. He is Emmanuel - God with us.
Verse three tells us HOW the Christ child made eternal life available to all mankind. He laid aside His glorious heavenly position, came to Earth as a man, and gave His life so that we could experience second birth (be born again) and live eternally in heaven.
Hark! The Herald Angels Singtells us WHY Jesus came, WHO He was, and HOW He would accomplish His purposes to reconcile a lost world to God. That’s the gospel in a nutshell, and it’s all packed into one Christmas Carol.

This holiday season, as you sing the familiar Christmas Carols, look for the gospel among the verses and let the melody of God’s great Gift fill your heart.

Torn rotator cuff

13 September 2011 - 11:58 AM

August 7th I had a fling with a canoe and lost. I tore one tendon off my right shoulder rotator cuff and have another tendon barely hanging on by a thread. I am right handed !
Surgery date is October 5th . 6 to 8 weeks with my right arm in a sling and then 4 to 6  months rehab.  

There goes this years hunting season as I know it. Prop me up in a corner and fill my boots with sand :(
