The Pheasant Hunt and Bacon 3/5/2015

Good Morning Dear Friends!

This morning is unusually cold for March in this part of the world. So as I head out of the door with a song in my heart, one big, hot cup of Door County Highlander Grog Coffee is in my hand.

This coming weekend I will be out chasing pheasants with my dog and a bunch of great guys. We really enjoy each other's company and of course we like to eat. Pictured above are some pheasant breasts, that are stuffed with peppers and mushrooms and then wrapped in bacon. We like to cook up what we shoot that day. It seems to add a little more macho to the day when you dine on what you shot.  Anyway, anything always tastes better with bacon on it.

Proverbs 12:27New Living Translation (NLT)

²⁷ Lazy people don’t even cook the game they catch,
    but the diligent make use of everything they find.

The book of Proverbs deals with many practical subjects as well as spiritual ones. In this verse, we are given advice on hunting. It is not wrong to hunt; however, Proverbs 12:27 says that the man who hunts for game and just kills it, and does not take possession of it for eating is a slothful man. The diligent hunter takes his game for food (roasting) and considers it a precious possession, as he has food for his family’s table.

Looking forward to the hunt. Really looking forward to a feast later.

God bless,

Marty
