What
Hunting Guides and Outfitters is all About
First
of all my name is Tony Gutierrez. I am a christian. I started
hunting guides and outfitters as a service to my customers.
They over the years have given me a chance to serve them through
a way that I never dreamed possible.
I
started out with a company that I founded in 1999 called Rising
Son Web Design. At that time I called it Rising Son Print.
It is a company that thanks Jesus for all the help one needs
it helping one get started in a start up business. From there
I changed the name to Rising Son Web Design because I was
doing more web design that I was being called on for print
material. Jesus has helped my company grow through out the
years to what is is today. Being able to serve customers through
out the country. No matter what the background of christian
religion my customers are we are comfortable in making a good
working relationship and sometimes even more than that a good
friendship being able to help each other in some very difficult
situations.
My
situation came up November 20, 2004. My son Jerrad and I are
whitetail deer hunters. We set out for our hunting trip on
Friday November 19th little did I know that the next 24 hours
of my life was going to change in a very drastic way. Jerrad
and I always hunted together. He had been hunting with me
since he was twelve years old. (As I type this it is very
hard tell you the over all sense of loss one feels).
Jerrad
was killed that morning while we were hunting. I heard shots
early that morning one coming from his direction. but I was
not really sure because we hunt along ridges and I wasn't
for sure but had a sense it came from his direction. Well
I waited for a while. it was a miserable day gloomy and cold.
You really couldn't hear much on movement because the ground
was so wet. That morning was so different. I heard a rooster
crow at dawn. I got to the point were I got out of my stand
and i wanted to make a drive in the swamp to see if i could
push any deer Jerrad's way. When i was getting down out of
my stand my rifle was swinging in front of my face. Not something
I usually allow to happen but never the less a mistake. The
next thing that happen was as I was going through the swamp
ii had to cross over some wind falls. When i did i again had
my rifle barrel cross in front of my face. only this time
for some reason I looked at the rifle and the safety was off.
I got so scared at what had just happen all I wanted to do
is get my boy and go have breakfast.
I
got out of the swamp and made my way to Jerrad's stand. I
walked up and noticed he was not in the stand. I saw him lying
at the bottom of the stand and I thought he was a sleep. I
went over to him and then it hit me that he was shot. I began
o cry out to GOD how he could allow this to happen. I knew
Jerrad was dead he was shot in the head. I cursed and yelled
at GOD for allowing this to happen. I hit and screamed and
almost took my own life. I cried and held on to him.
Then
GOD in his mercy proceeded to give me the lesson of life.
He asked me where would I rather have Jerrad with him or with
me. I told him that was not a fair question.
My
prayer is that my family and friends all come and go to Christ.
I type this for anyone looking for a reason for life. There
is only one life and that is in Christ. I live in Christ for
the love he has for me. I can see the beauty of my wife and
the love of my other children. So many can not get by the
days events that have so little meaning. Love and he will
teach you to love if you trust in Him Jesus.
If
you have not given your life to him I pray that you do It
is simple. He did not make this a rocket science. Know that
you are a sinner and you where born in sin. That is what keeps
us from a Holy GOD. Jesus gave his life to be a sacrifice
to GOD for our sins. There is no work you can do that can
have your sins forgiven. We have been given a way to be with
a Holy GOD and that is through what Jesus did for us. No other
name can save you from hell. You can try any other way, but
it will be away from the way GOD sent it up, and it will not
be good for you. Think of HELL it will be worst than your
worst day on earth FOREVER! I know that the pain that I felt
when I found Jerrad. HELL will be more painful. So I beg you
please ask to be forgiven of your sins an accept Jesus as
your LORD and Savior. Find yourself a good bible teaching
church. Not one that makes GOD out to be this never talk back
to me Dad. He is not that at all. He whats to show us a better
way of living. Which one of you would not give food to his
child if he were hungry. GOD, HE is the Father, wants to feed
us but with truth that will last forever. Instead of chasing
things that never will fill our desire for love. That desire
will only filled in HIM. Read the word and apply it to your
life. The stories in the bible are stories to help us see.
GOD takes back people who fall off the wagon for whatever
reason. Check out the prodical son, GOD is always waiting
for us to turn back. Do not be fooled by thinking you can
do it yourself. You may end up with nothing but yourself and
that could be your hell. Make him your Dad and give him your
life today.
