Hitting the Mark! This is our son's dream bow that the Lord helped him save his birthday and work money to purchase! He was very diligent, turning down many treats for it would take his precious funds towards his goal. It made us very proud of him for sticking to his dream and not wasting his money either! He's dreaming of going hunting with his Uncles in AK, VA and PA some day!
His Daddy took him out to practice shooting and this was his 1st time shooting. We were very pleased with how well he was able to hit the mark. Our prayer for our family everyday is that they will NOT MISS THE MARK spiritually. So many are falling short, taking an easier route and how that grieves our hearts! I often "Wonder If He Ever Cries", for He gave His life that we might make Heaven, the way is clear in His word... all we need to do is Follow! Let's HIT THE MARK daily with our lives living pleasing to His Holy Word and His Highway of Holiness!

Great Bryan, Looks like you have had some practice. I do not know how eager you should be to go hunting in AK with your Uncle Andrew for Keith had to spend two nights in the out-back all by himself while his Uncle flew out all the meat and then had to wait for the weather to clear to fly back safely to get him. But, by the time you are Cousin Keith's age you will probably not mind staying back in the wilderness by yourself.

Good comparison, may God help us all to "hit the mark" in the choices of this life in preparing for Eternity! I love you, Gram

We are so happy for you, Bryan. One of these days you'll be able to fill the freezer. We pray that you "hit the mark" -- love God with all of your heart -- for life too.

Love,
