Please surround our brothers and sisters with prayer as they go
through the tremendous flooding, weather, and loss of life. We are
asking for God's mercy and protection for those walking through this
storm. May God continue to bless America and God bless each of you as
you rest under the shadow of His wings.

Deuteronomy 18:10-14
There
shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter
pass through the fire, or one who practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer,
or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or one who conjures spells,
or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. For all who
do these things are an abomination to the LORD, and because of these
abominations the LORD your God drives them out from before you. You
shall be blameless before the LORD your God. For these nations which you
will dispossess listened to soothsayers and diviners; but as for you,
the LORD your God has not appointed such for you. (NKJV)
Thoughts
Years ago many a deer hunt was right before Halloween. As a kid couldn't be at two places at one time, so I went hunting.
One
Halloween we were butchering 3 deer in one evening. Unfortunately we
ran out of butcher paper, so I ran to pick more up at the store. The
other two men couldn't keep butchering and answer the door to pass out
candy so they ended visitation. They place a deer head with its horns
sawed off at the end of the driveway until I found it in my returning
headlights.
As I removed the scary creature to oblivion I promised myself that we'd never butcher another deer on Halloween with the butcher boys again. It worked as a fright, not one child or teenager came up to the porch after that display. It's unsettling to think what the neighbors might have thought or the nightmares created.

Action Point
The above scripture is pretty clear on what any of us should not be doing within the spiritual realm. Notice
"one who practices witchcraft" has no exceptions for white, black, or
Wicca. We're to walk in HIS light and with our faith in JESUS CHRIST not
by what today's horoscope reflects.
The final tests are to take every thought captive to Christ and line up every question to GOD's Living Holy WORD. We become free in CHRIST when we bow at HIS throne and humbly ask for HIS forgiveness no matter what has been in the past!!!
Sportsmen's Tip of the Day
By cutting up our own deer, we diligently removed all fat before packaging. The strong gamey taste was removed with the fat. Many a chuckle was created when friends enjoyed the steak that couldn't have been wild game meat.
Just
as the butcher boys made a poor choice on deflecting visitation, it
brings to mind the verse that says, "Whoever causes one of these little
ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone
were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the
sea," Matthew 18:6 (NKJV). Hopefully they didn't cause a frightened
little one to sin. But how many of our poor choices caused another to
stumble?
