Nine in the Afternoon

This weekend was the BSU's January Retreat at God's Mountain camp in Rushville, MO. The Northwest Bearcat BSU was joined by the Griffons of Missouri Western, Truman State Bulldogs and NCMC Pirates' BSUs as well. We arrived about 6 pm Friday evening, and got a game of floor hockey in before the first session. Speaker of the weekend was John Hill from somewhere in Ohio, I believe. He did a very good job and spoke on Apologetics - Why do we believe what we believe? He referenced a book, "I Don't Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist", which I have read and thought was a really cool book, explaining why after weighing the facts, it would take more faith to believe there is no god that to believe in the one true God. It was a good weekend, and it's always fun to meet new friends from different places. Especially friends who share an interest and love of God.

4pm Saturday afternoon, Alex and I arrived at my house. There was just enough daylight left to head out and shoot the newest addition to the Wright's arsenal - a .44 caliber stainless steel black powder pistol!

Sunday, 3pm: Alex and I had just arrived at my favorite squirrel hunting location and literally been there 2 minutes before we saw 2 squirrels. Of course, if you are familiar with the hunting tradition of myself or Alex, you will understand that these 2 squirrels had about a 1% chance of living after having been spotted by us. We traveled farther in the timber and managed to bring out another in a short time. By then we had to get back to Maryville for some meetings and what-not. Another good weekend, accomplished.
