Person most responsible for cultivating your love for the outdoors:
Absolutely no doubt, it was my Dad. He took me squirrel hunting w/him when I was very young. He gave me my 1st gun, a single shot Remington 22 rifle, when I was 8yrs old. After a lot of practice and a few years to grow, at age 13, he allowed me to hunt squirrels with it by myself. Thanks be to God for Dad

Favorite Scripture: Hardest Question to answer by far
Ro 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Spiritual lessons learned on outdoor events:
In the fall, I spend a lot of time by myself in a tree stand. During these alone times is when I realize the most that I live in the presence of God. Alone in a tree stand gives me opportunities away from the distractions of life to meditate on God, His word, His goodness, grace and mercy.
