"NORTH COUNTRY RIVER CHARTERS

ALASKA" THAT IS!

WILD GAME DINNER!!!

TUESDAY FEBRUARY 4TH 6:30 PM

One of my favorite TV shows

used to be the "A Team." I would always laugh when they would

get into some terrible situation and through miraculous skills, they would

leave the place in flames and total disarray. Then Murdock would smile

and say, "I LOVE IT WHEN A PLAN COMES TOGETHER!!" Well Folks

the "Plan HAS come together!" Mark your calendars for Tuesday

February the 4th at 6:30 PM for a fun filled HUNTERS AND FISHERMAN'S Evening.

I'd better say "Hunters and Fisherpersons." The reason I say

this is we have a wonderful lady in our church who is one of the best

hunters I know. Bobbie Evans will put Chuck her husband and I and lesser

hunters to shame with her ability to bring home some really nice deer.

To top that she is one of the best cooks in the South Eastern United States.

I hope to see you there Bobbie.

This evening will be special

for many reasons. First of all, two different churches are coming together

for this fellowship dinner and event. Our church, "His House Community

Church" on GA Highway 85 South Senoia, and "Prince of Peace

Lutheran Church" Highway 314 Fayetteville (near Lowe's), will be

getting together to enjoy this outstanding event. The Wild Game Dinner

will be at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church. My dear friend and prayer

partner Pastor Justin Kollmeyer has offered their beautiful church fellowship

hall for this event. Our menu will consist of Moose and Buffalo burgers

with some of the "fixins". Any man who says he doesn't like

a good burger with the "fixins" will lie about anything!! The

tickets are $6.00 each and we have room for only 200. You can get your

tickets from "Cindy" at the church secretary's office at Prince

of Peace Lutheran church Fayetteville (770-461-3403) or from Pastor Herndon

at His House Community Church (770-719-2365). If you have ever read more

than say five of my articles, you will hear me mention "Alaska"

somewhere. I suppose we eventually get around to talking and writing about

the things we truly love. For me this is truly the case. At our Game Dinner

we will hear from two great sportsmen, and two great Americans, Bill O'Halloran

and John Grimsley. Bill O'Halloran is the owner of North Country River

Charters, Fairbanks Alaska. I go up each year as their Chaplain and have

had many a wonderful night around the campfire sharing hunting and fishing

"tales" and watching God's finger painting in the sky we call

the Northern Lights. There are some images and feelings we keep deep in

our hearts and in our "minds eye" that we recall periodically,

just to enjoy them. This is what memories are made of. I will never forget

the time Bill and I spent seven hours out on a point doing a "double

team call-and-rake" ceremony to attract Bullwinkle. It finally paid

off! Bill looked at me with the strangest look on his face and said "your

bull is coming out right there, and pointed to a spot on the ground. Talk

about "dances with wolves!!" Sure Nuff, Bullwinkle broke out

of the woodline with a grunt which in any language said "LET'S FIGHT!"

I will finish this story at the "Wild Game Dinner" and most

of what I say will be the truth!

As if "North Country River

Charters" was not enough to fulfill your hunting and fishing dreams,

John Grimsley Has teamed up with us which truly rounds out a classy hunting

and fishing operation. As part of a more complete hunting package, John

operates "World Class Expeditions" which expands our operations

to Mexico, Argentina, and Texas. This "expanded operation was featured

on TNN's Stihl Csonka Outdoors TV show 2001 and our "Trophy Northern

Pike" fishing expedition was featured on TNN's North to Alaska outdoors

show in January 2002. More to follow on these "monster Northern Pike"

that Bill calls "Water Wolf" at the dinner!

Prior to "World Class

Expeditions" John played linebacker for ten years in the National

Football League. John began his Pro career in 1984 as a sixth round draft

choice of the University of Kentucky where he led the Wildcats in total

tackles for three years. During his seven years as a linebacker for the

Houston Oilers, John earned All-AFC honors and was selected to play in

the 1989 Pro Bowl. In 1991 John was traded to the Miami Dolphins. In 1992

he was awarded the NFL's Ed Block Courage Award and finished his tenth

and final professional football season in 1993. As someone who loves you,

I would tell you to get your tickets early. We only have room for 200

this time around. As you fellowship with other Christian hunters and fishermen

around your table, I encourage you to bring your hunting and fishing pictures

to share with everyone. Who knows, you might just meet the best hunting

and fishing partner you ever had. To God be the Glory great things He

has done! Never forget that "All good and perfect gifts come from

God. This game dinner will be one of those good and perfect gifts. See

you there!
