Take A Stand!!

I was reminded this morning at a Men's Bible Study that people have to take a stand for what they believe. Guess what? If you do not take a stand for something, then nothing will ever stand. Today in one of our local high schools, one of our students is taking a stand on his convictions. In other words, standing up for what he believes. More than likely he will be standing alone in the eyes of his peers. But, let me remind you that as a child of God, God is standing with him and so am I!! What kind of stand do you need to take today?

"The eyes of the Lord search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him..."

(2 Chronicles 16:9 NLT)

Outdoor Adventure

One thing that our family really likes is "The Great Outdoors." We would rather be outside doing something, rather than in the house. This past weekend I had an opportunity to spend some time with my son, Colby, hunting Whitetail Deer in the great state of Georgia. For several years we have been going on an annual hunt in GA with my dear friend, AW. He is gracious to invite us over every year. We have a great time hunting and fellowshipping with each other. His farm is loaded with opportunity to hunt and fish. It is an awesome time! This gives me time as a father to introduce my boys to "The Great Outdoors" as my father did for me and my brother. Next year I will take Micah on our outdoor adventure. He is pumped and ready!! Colby has named our annual event "Cannon Creation Outdoor Adventure." He has named this as a family event, but most of all to make mention that we are experiencing this in God's wonderful creation. Genesis 1:1 states, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."
