Camo Christians

I will start off by saying I'm hooked on Duck Dynasty! When this show first came out I thought to myself, Oh no, not another stupid reality show! I kept seeing people on Facebook talking about it, saying they love it! It wasn't until My wife was telling me that one of the people on the show was a graduate from Portland High School in Portland Tn.,Tim Guraedy nicknamed "Mountain Man". So one night we decided to watch it to see this guy from Portland, who went to school with my mother-in-law. It was a goofy show about a family business in East Monroe Louisiana, making duck calls. They are always doing something silly and causing problems from the CEO of the duck call business. It was funny and even though I know some of it is staged, I enjoyed it. But what really hooked me was at the end of the show the whole family gathered at the dinner table to eat. But before they ate the eldest of the family blessed the food with prayer. I couldn't believe it. I was happy to see this on national t.v. too! Our country prefers that we don't have public display of our faith. As I've watched the show more I've found out the faith is a big part of this family. They are very vocal about CHRIST and most of the family goes around the country speaking about religion. I am glad to see that they are like that. If you haven't had a chance to watch it, do it! I would recommend it to everyone. Some of what they teach their kids is what we all should teach our own. Yet some of it is just silly. Watch it, you will enjoy it!

The Chronicles of the P.K. Part 3 (A childs understanding)

Some dates are hard to remember for the fact it's been so long ago. My mom kept a journal for most of if but some dates are fresh in her memory. As if it was yesterday even though its been 25 years. She said that he was cleared the week of Mother's Day 1987. But relapsed in July of the same year. At the age I was I had a difficult time understanding. I just knew that he was really sick, then better and then really sick again. I was 8 years old at the time, and it was explained to me the best way they knew possible. Honestly ask yourself if you could explain that to your 8 year old. Or could you explain to a 6 year old that they are really sick. I look at my kids and know that it would be one of the most difficult things ever, even facing that in my childhood.

Cory always seemed strong even when he wasn't. He was also wise beyond his years. My parents said most conversations they had to stop and think, am I talking to a child? He would talk about and discuss things that most kids wouldn't even care about. The bible being one of his favorite subjects. He knew a lot and would carry on full discussions about the stories in the bible. He said "when I grow up, I'm gonna be a preacher like daddy". I think to this day he probably would have been. He would hit the front door after Sunday morning service, climb up on the coffee table and get a short 30 second sermon. The faith he had needed to be bottled and given to Christians of today. The amount of love he had for The Lord Jesus Christ was phenomenal. I could only try to love our savior as much as he did! If you learn anything from part 3 of my installment it needs to be this; love GOD with the love of Cory Brandon Gregory, be as faithful to GOD as Cory Brandon Gregory and live life like there's no tomorrow like Cory Brandon Gregory..... To be continued.....
