Question What gives you comfort??

I have given this question a lot of thought since I was unemployed.
I find myself here on the Forum and in the Lounge more often. I go to the safe and fondle a gun or 2 each night. I have a list of folks,mostly that I have met here, I can call and talk to that are willing to let me ramble. All in all I can destress due to my involvement here and with a gun or two.
What do you do??

The fact that my owning an AK clone is making some liberal, gun hating, tree hugging individual have nightmares! And he/she may know I'm a combat vet as well! Dale

My faith in God. Since my son Chris passed away three years ago I have found the rest of what I leaned on to be wanting. I have more contentment now than ever, but less expectations about what I'll find here and whether any of it will go my way. I have many interests and enjoy many relationships, activities, and things. But I know them now for what they are and where they fit in the grand scheme of things.

What gives me comfort? Lying on the floor in front of a nice fire. With one of my wife's cats cuddled up against me (on the fire side). I do it for at least an hour or two every evening. It makes me feel really good.

Or having my youngest grand kid come over and pile up on my lap. She's fighting the sleep, but can't win. I don't fight naps at all. And with a young one on your lap, its futile.

In the summer I like watching the river flow past. Sometimes a tree or other item floats into view, upstream. With a good set of Binoc's, you can identify it (or not). Then you can just watch it moving toward you, then past, then out of sight. It takes a lot of exertion to do that!

many things...
the arsenal and ample ammo to solve any of the worst kinds of problems I could find on this Earth. Be that fighting for my life, or putting food upon the table.
The word of God. The bible is that one reference manual I find myself reading quite a bit. In its words lies a wisdom beyond any man I know to include myself.
Six strings and 300 watts, yes I built that monster amp with my own two hands, and tuned its 12AX7 based front end with the hands and mind God saw fit to give me. its voice is nothing short of exquisite. All this knowledge means nothing without something for the soul.
Model airplanes ... Ive designed several, for all the engineering, again, it means little without that slow dance across the sky to feed the spirit. anyone who has dared to slip the surly bonds of earth to put out his hand and touch the face of God knows well the worth of John Gilespie MaGee's words in High Flight.
My wife. Yeah we are fairly new at this game at a bit over two years ... those things good for the soul are best shared.

I had a lazy boreing career with tons of OT, 65 hours a week was average. It was mostly positioning myself in the dark and observing the night etc. It made a lazy man of me. It also made me a couch potato at home, especaly in the winter. When I first retired I had lots of similar friends and we would meet for coffee a LOT, and bs. We left that area and moved here where we originaly didnt know anyone. I then found this site and a couple others. Now I spend a lot of time on the computer. It takes place of my old buddys.
In better weather I live to explore this country on the quad. All my life I have always been the happiest just driveing or rideing motorcycle, or flying my puddle jumper. Now its the quad. I love getting on a high mountain trail overlook and just watching many miles of scenery far below. Thats my thing.

The re-imported Model 39-2 that I got recently gives me more comfort than all five of my Glocks.

True that! Especially the "myself" part, at least for me.

My beautiful wife who loves me for some inexplicable reason.

Chatting with you on the phone Curtis.

Coming here and chatting with so many great people.

Driving around out in farm country for the day.

Riding around on one of my John Deere tractors.

A really good pizza.

A cold glass of iced tea on a warm summer day.

The friendship of a good dog.

Realizing that I am not all that important, my problems are small compared to so many others, and that I have been blessed even when it doesn't feel like it.

For comfort, turn to family & friends. When they come to you with their problems, let them lean on you. You too will gain support while leaning back. Remember, love a little, laugh a little, share a little, & pray a LOT.

I am trying to develop the "little red hen" way of life. If I can't do it myself, then I don't need it. Most times you will find the ones you counciled, taught, coached, & prayed with will be by pretty soon. It's true, you reap what you sew!

Remember, We are all in this together & if we all do our part (give & take) we will have a 'civil'ization.

My family. Spending time with them, holding them. Shooting, fondling my guns, good books (I love my Kindle).

We have been rv'ers for years now, and I can walk out to the camper and just sit down in it for a while. Best de-stresser I've found, other than one I can't mention here. My wife feels the same way.

Sitting on a high mountain, hiking, sitting on the beach. And there are a couple of special places for my wife and I that I will not mention. Mostly because if everyone knew where they were, they wouldn't be special anymore.

And frankly, spending time here and on a couple of other gun or rv centered forums is quite relaxing for me too.

My father-in-law passed away in November 2008 and left my wife 1/2 of a house in the north Georgia mountains. Her mom owns the other half, which also goes to my wife upon M-I-L's passing. Hopefully, that will be a long while.

The house over looks Wolf Fork Valley, behind the Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School. I love this place, the view, the peace and quiet. I like to sit on the porch and watch the storm clouds roll in. We travel the backroads looking for bears, hike to waterfalls, and eat too much.

Right now I am sitting in front of a picture window, typing on this dang i-PAD, looking at the snow on the mountains. In an hour or so I am going to visit the local gun and pawn shops to see if anything I can't live without exists.

As a side note, the county up here dealt with the snow far better than metro Atlanta counties. Travel here is no problem, compared to back home.

Spending the end of an evening with my wife, while we both quietly read, just happy to be with one another. Maybe it's because I was once in a relationship where this simple exercise would have been an impossibility, I will never take it for granted.

Spending a weekend at the airport, hanging-out with the regulars, and solving all the world's problems. Following it up with a few touch and goes at dusk, with my son riding along.

If I become anxious or slightly depressed, I like to shoot a few rounds from a couple or three guns then clean them. I like to watch movies and clean weapons at the same time. Crazy, I know.
When we get snowed completely in, I sometimes start a wood carving of one kind or another. Once I carved a 2' chain from cedar. It had a box on one end with a ball inside. Then my male Doberman chewed it into splinters.
Peace,
gordon

I find that my wife, my friends, my belief in a power greater than myself, and my 15 Y/O tom cat all give me comfort to one degree or another.

I good blanket, my son giving me a hug when he is lonely or just because he likes them, knowing that my freezer is full with venison which helps put considerably on the food budget which is strained as it is. The fact that my 1853 Enfield musketoon can do the same job as a modern muzzleloader, that I can take either my M & P .38 or my 27-2 go to the range with some of my co-workers, and put six shots in a much smaller group than their Glocks because they believe in emptying mags faster than the speed of light. (A good thing if you know how to do it well). A nice warm furnace, and did I mention the blanket, always love a nice blanket.

Handguns and Harley Davidson give me a lot of comfort. Of course my wife, twin daughters, a son in the Yellow Sea, and two grandkids help out also. Comfort- - - - -

For a couple hours each evening, it's just the dog and me, every now and again, I will crash down on the bed, flip the TV on and pretend to watch it. The dog comes up, flops down and lays her chin on my ankles, where she proceeds to drift off to sleep, content that I'll not let anything disturb her. For some reason, she has a calming, comforting effect on me that not much else has...

My faith in The Lord and His promise of eternal life get me through the big stuff and I've always been pretty good at sloughing off the small stuff. Life is too short/long to hold grudges. I get in my recliner in the afternoon and my dog Barney curls up on the foot, head on my leg, and goes sound asleep. Squirt is nearby on the loveseat. The rpms drop down to a low idle.

I expect to have some when I come up to thin the prairie dog population. If I can latch on to some, I'll bring some of AR's version of GA apple jack.

What gives me comfort? The promise of eternal salvation through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross to pay for my sins and the fact that God raised Him from the dead.

"For God so love the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him, should not perish, but have eternal life."
John 3:16.

The gospel in one sentence.

I first encountered the term "Stump Blower" in the adventures of the "Lower Forty" by Corey Ford, in the pages of Field & Stream Magazine, probably fifty years ago. Haven't heard it in years.

One of my friends is from that area and has a cousin that makes that stuff. He brought out a quart Mason jar from behind the bar one night and scorched my gullet with some of that stuff. Maybe he should have let it age another week.

Several previous posters have noted their faith in God.

I have lots of "stuff" from a decent home, nice guns, two sorta great dogs to enough money, if I am somewhat careful to last the rest of my life.

But that's just stuff. Sort of like the new car that gets "doored" in the grocery parking lot, it'll all fall apart or be willed or sold to someone else. At best, I'm just the custodian for a while.

So, as to comfort-knowing, and I mean knowing, that this present life is all the hell I will ever know and that, based on nothing I could ever do to earn it, I will get to spend eternity in Heaven with my wife and with friends and relatives who have passed on before me.

That gives me comfort.

But one thing bothers me. There are many, many good and wonderful people on this forum and everywhere that simply won't take the time to check out what the Bible says about eternal life.

That discomforts me considerably.

Bob

Me too Bob.

To the above, I"ll add this- I'd like people to read what the bible actually says, and not interpret it to say what we want it to in order for it to suit our desires or purpose at the moment.
