With much of the thing in this world today people have had some questions if members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are Christians. I give my testimony with millions of others that we are Christians. This video is the simple truth. Please watch it.
As I sat in the middle of the field I watched steadily for the arrival of the big buck. With only 30-45 minutes left of light left they finally desired to come out. I scanned over the herd and there he was, the one I wanted. It was an easy shot, only 150 yards away. It was in the bag. Just the year before I had taken a shot from 250 yards away as the deer was moving up hill. I sighted him in my scoop and shot; I missed! I prayed he would not run away, and he didn’t. So I took aim and shot again! I missed again! This pattern happened for another three times. As all this was going on the deer just kept on eating. When the sun finally set we went back to the car. It was one of the most embarrassing times of my life. But as we drove home the memories of my dad’s conversations with me for the pasted four months came flooding back. “Son if you don’t sight in your gun you wont get a deer this year." " But dad I got that deer last year and all I did was sit there, it’s still on.“
This lesson of still retuning ourselves even when we feel we don’t need to is found in James Chapter 2:16-17 “Faith with our works is dead.” As we begin to get comfortable in our ways, with such thoughts as I went to church last week I’m good, or I don’t need to read or pray everyday. Those thoughts will define our choices in the future. As we get set in the mind frame of, I have already done enough, that's when we find out just how far we have really fallen. I know that as we work on the little things and do the practices of prayer, reading, and church, we will be ready for when that buck comes into our sight, and we will be able to get him.
