What To Do When Having A Bad Day
By Terry Rush I’ll admit that to address such a topic is rather fundamental. The simple part of acknowledgement isn’t the challenge. No, the tough stuff is applying what truth we know when our experiences do their best to persuade each of us that “this one stressful moment” is hopeless. What basic word breaks the…
Read MoreThe Incredible Call to Believe
by Terry Rush Belief changes life… and lives. While many may regard such as a mere passing vapor of a wishful moment, faith is bedrock solid for a life of effectivity. One of the monumental differences that faith makes is one’s ability to love others when they are, frankly, a pain in the rear. This…

July will mark my 17th year of doing this column. It has been a very satisfying and life-altering period of time. It all started when I bought an ad in two different newspapers for an event that was taking place. Both left my office with my first attempt at Outdoor Truths promising me they would…
Read MoreStrength Can Only Be Our Goal If Weakness Is First Our Admission
by Terry Rush I’m reading, these tense days, what you are likely reading. Report after report of intense social unrest among us. It’s serious, it’s sad, it’s alarming.

Read MoreWe Must Discontinue Our Dislove
by Terry Rush We, the church, are shooting ourselves in the proverbial foot.

I speak of our practicing dislove (dis-love) for any who insult us or merely ruffle our preferential feathers. To…

We are in uncharted territory. COVID-19 has not only affected my work life, but now my hunting life. Kentucky allowed no non-resident hunters to hunt during turkey season. I know the fish and wildlife agency was not happy either. They could have used the income. But to be honest, most fish and game agencies have…

I love the outdoors, but you can be assured of the fact, sooner or later accidents will happen. Most of the time these are minor and not worth mentioning. On other occasions they are more climatic, and the setbacks are longer. Not only do accidents happen during our outdoor activities but they also happen in…
