Good morning to everyone, another day upon us. This is the Lords day for worship. Be safe my friends.
Good morning Ronnie and all to follow and yes, it is the Lord’s designated day of worship. That being said, my opinion is that the worship does not necessarily have to be conducted in a church. On the water, in the woods or simply spending that time with family and friends in a reverent manner with the creator in mind generally suffices, at least for myself.
Good morning Ronnie, bk... I agree with you 100% but. I might as well riffle some feathers this morning but some of the worse people I ever known I met in Church. I love the Lord with all my heart and soul. I believe Jesus was a miracle and a powerful Godsent teacher to mankind. And I believe the Bible is an important tool for learning and spiritual growth. But nothing makes my heart ache worse than those that tell me I have to believe what they say the Bible says. Especially when I hear you have to do this and you have to do that because that's what God says. Jesus gave us a message loud and clear.... God is amazing, full of love, grace and forgiveness. Anyone with a message contrary to this, I don't want to hear it and I have no fear for my soul. Eternal life is mine for what I believe and the way I lead my life. I carry no guilt for what man tells me I do wrong according to them. Those issues belong to those that perpetuate them. OK, stepping down from the pulpit now. Have a great day all.
Good morning all,
70 now, but we have a little cold front moving through so the temps may hold and we may get a couple showers as well. The kids who have been visiting are heading home to Baltimore in an hour or so (after I load them up with pancakes…so I am told). Have a great day, all!

Good Mornin', Ronnie, and all of the fine fellows who follow.
About the same forecast as OJ's, only 5* cooler, 65*, rain 30% chance of rain. I watered the hostas and flowers yesterday so it should rain.
Today, I have to fence up the raspberries and then mow. The rain may force me to watch the Vikings, but I will watch them if it rains or not.
Have a good day boys and girls.
Good morning all. 55 now high is 88 today kinda cool here and hopefully the water will cool down and we can catch some fish. Fall is coming for sure. Getting my garden ready for the spring garden. My dad and I worked hard the last few days bush hogging the raking and dissing to get all the grass out. For sure I am no farmer but my dad was raised on a farm and he is 86 but worked me to death. His famous words It will all pay off in the end.

I vowed not to engage in religious debate on what is primarily a fishing site but you couldn't stated it better Steve. I'm real comfortable with the way I live my life. Others can judge me if that's important to them to justify their beliefs.
G-mornin knuckleheads. Upper 80s and sunny today. Will watch Pack/Saints later today. Have a good one clones.

I was raised Catholic, but as I grew up didn't like the inconsistencies in the behavior, and the message. I've graduated to a similar method of worship as you Steve. It works for me, and I don't fear for my soul either. If worse comes to worse,and I'm wrong, I'll know just as many souls wherever I wind up.
