The right decision is the one which follows God's unchanging law. It is always right to do to others as I would have them do to me, as Jesus said, because this IS God's law and the prophets (Mt. 7:12, Rom. 13:9-10). I know that I am following the Golden Rule when it causes me to obey God's law. If it causes me to disobey God's law, I have changed its meaning to say something that it does not say. Following the Truth will prevent you from wandering down the path of least resistance and into the traps of Satan.

One of my most recent lessons from nature came from the bat. In several different counties of Taiwan I've witnessed this curious little creature coming out to begin its hunting right at sunset just like clockwork. Some were large, some were small, but all were dependable and knew the best time for a hunt. Wherever we are, may those who see us see the same character traits portrayed in Christ rather than situational ethics! Thanks for the reminder Joshua.

I can feel it oozing into 2-pound ziploc bags right now. Can't wait! Just a few evenings ago our family all gathered down-stairs while Dad read one of the Character Sketch stories. They are definitely a favorite of our family too! I know it’s hard to believe, but even I am ready to handle all that brownish-red, gushy-mushy, uncooked, right-out-of-the-grinder hamburger again!

I will admit, it is hard to beat the beautiful skies over the Northwoods Training Center. I would love to see a post of photos from the Northwoods someday. Robert - well we have your family to thank for instigating the deer fever. After that memorable weekend we spent at your home cutting up deer meat, our lives will never be the same :-) .

With all these recent pictures of deer and hunters, I'm starting to get hunting fever. :-) Very insightful post, Josh, and very true!
