Last night was a great night. My dad took me and three of my kids (two daughters and #2 son) to the Outdoorsman's Banquet at Abundant Life Fellowship church in Clackamas. This was special for a couple reasons. My daughters had completed their hunters' ed training yesterday, so it was kind of a celebration for them. The keynote speaker was Charles "Chuck" Buck, President and grandson of the founder of Buck Knives. He wasn't a great speaker, but he had a great story and message. One of the things that I didn't realize is that packaged with every Buck knife, the literature has a little message in it:
Quote:
If you are a new Buck knife owner, "welcome aboard." You are now part of a very large family. Although we're talking about a few million people, we still like to think of each one of our users as a member of the Buck Knives Family and take a personal interest in the product that was bought. With normal use, you should never have to buy another.
Now that you are family, you might like to know a little more about our organization. The fantastic growth of Buck Knives was no accident. From the beginning, management determined to make God the Senior Partner. In a crisis, the problem was turned over to Him, and He hasn't failed to help us with the answer. Each product must reflect the integrity of management, including our Senior Partner. If sometimes we fail on our end, because we are human, we find it imperative to do our utmost to make it right. Of course, to us, besides being Senior Partner, He is our Heavenly Father also; and it's a great blessing to us to have this security in these troubled times. If any of you are troubled or perplexed and looking for answers, may we invite you to look to Him, for God loves you.
"For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten son; that whoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John: 3:16

I thought this to be very interesting. The man seems to have a great heart for the Lord. I just wanted to applaud him and the company for makeing a great procduct and having and making public the great philosophy on which Buck Knives was built. May God continue to bless Buck - the compnay and the man.
My daughters each won a knife during the raffles last night. One a Buck and the other, a Lweatherman. They were too excited! I pray that the Lord keep them safe during their future hunting adventures.
It was a great dinner and great company. Anyone else go?
