Default Church first

I go through the same internal battle every year during hunting season, should I skip church this week or not. This time as usual church wins. God has blessed me greatly and I need to remember that. See you in the woods sunday evening!

Our church has a 10:30 service so if Iget out of the woods by9:30 I'm okay. My wife knows if I don't show I either got one or fell out of the tree.

I am not a religous person but who says that you have to go to a man made building to worship God?

Isn't mother Earth Gods real house of worship?

Short answer, "No." :-) No sense in getting theological on a hunting board, but that's not what the Bible says. Anyhow.

You are right Bigbulls, no building is required. I feel closer to God when I am out in nature than I do at any other time. As far as the building goes,I just think it is the right thing to do. it's a personal choice and to each as he or she sees fit.

The Bible says that every time God spoke to Jesus he was alone outdoors.....
