In God’s Crosshairs: Ask yourself one question, “Do I feel lucky?” Well do ya punk?

There’s nothing more exciting than seeing an old bird dog on a point or a beautiful buck in the crosshairs of your rifle or hearing the whistle of wings of ducks, doves, or geese flying overhead. Yet after the last bird is picked and the trophy is hung on the wall, the excitement doesn’t last and the meaning slips away again. Author and avid hunter Bob Green knows there are millions of hunters who come up empty in life, their relationships suffer, and sometimes their families fall apart. In God’s Crosshairs is an easy-to-read daily devotional for all hunters and outdoorsmen. If life has ever made you feel like the prey instead of the hunter, maybe it’s time to change your position. Maybe God keeps trying to set his crosshairs on you, but like the wary old buck, you keep avoiding Him and hiding. It’s time to plan the best strategy of all, quietly resting In God’s Crosshairs.

So reads the product description for Bob Green’s book In God’s Crosshairs on Amazon.com.

Uh-huh. It’s real.

I told myself I wasn’t going to put anything about my new job at a local bookstore in this blog. However, I couldn’t resist after hearing about someone looking for a devotional for hunters and the above book is what one of the employees at the store found.

Shiny, happy rural people clinging to religion and guns

Most of the time I steer clear of politics on my blogs because I’m sensitive to people’s feelings scared of government reprisals, but the other day something happened in my non-blogging life (as if there is such a thing) that I felt compelled to use as blog fodder.

In my real life, I work part-time as a correspondent for a newspaper reporter. Last Friday, I was asked to cover the ribbon-cutting of the John McCain/Sarah Palin county campaign headquarters. Just because I am a Democrat and believe if McCain/Palin wins, the world will end Jan. 20, 2009 doesn’t mean that I can’t put aside my beliefs for a little money. So I went.

During the event, the chairman of the county campaign, said the following:

We are NOT BITTER rural people clinging to our religion and our guns.

Of course, he was referring to Obama’s infamous speech (paragraph four, last sentence).

But what got to me was a statement that the chairman said not even five minutes later:

I see we have some of our friends from the NRA here. GLAD to see you [emphasis mine] here…

and he waved to them with a big grin. So immediately what I thought was this:

We are SHINY HAPPY rural people clinging to our religion and our guns.

and this image came to mind (after a little searching on Google, of course):

As if that would make it all better, being SHINY HAPPY rural people, clinging to religion and guns– instead of bitter rural people.

At least, when we go out, to a far much better place where there’ll be only (shiny) happy tears, at least we’ll go out with smiles on our faces.
