Rom. 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;
Rom. 10:10 for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.

Hey Sherman! Welcome to T-Net!!!  Well, several of us have been responding with each other on Facebook about this... and this was Deb's suggestion, which I personally think sounds like a great one!  She suggested that we meet at the Manatee Public Beach (right at the beach side of Manatee Ave that goes through Bradenton to Anna Maria Island). We could meet around 2pm, relax and chit-chat for a bit, hunt the beach, and then enjoy dinner and music at the cafe right there. Good food, large portions, and inexpensive! So that seems to be the plan so far... my wife was like sounds fun, but we have my daughter this weekend,would of been a cool roadtrip.. hmm.. wife is from sarasota originally, she smiled when i mentioned AMI...gregg
Ah, Gregg... you all should totally try to make it if you're able! It'd be great to finally meet you!! My friend Ron from Tampa said that he and his two boys are going to plan to join as well. If you all aren't able to, I definitely understand. I know it's a pretty good drive too... like 2-1/2 hours Bran <><

Heh, no problem man! I just finished replying to your PM.  Yes... we'll keep everyone informed of any changes, if there are any. I'm sure everything will probably stay as planned though. Bran <><

Apparently, the fishing pier is no longer there... so I've updated the info section at the top. We'll be meeting by the lifeguard tower on Saturday there on the beach. I also added a Bing Maps link where you can add your own address and print the map out (if you need it) There's satellite images at the bottom of that post now, so you can get a visual of where we'll be!  Bran <><

The pier I grew up fishing on was the 1,000 ft pier out at Fort deSoto... definitely good memories and some awesome fishing stories, so I can only imagine yours! Yep, this is definitely a great place to live. Be careful... she may never wanna leave!!  Bran <><

I won't be able to make it, but I wanted to say this type of hunt would probably make a good fall or winter alternate for the spring CTH hunts.
I'm a good deal farther than 5 hrs, but if I'd had a weeks notice (just saw it today) and had not just finished 3700 miles in fifteen days, I'd be very interested in such a hunt.
Be blessed and find some really good stuff! Keep us posted here as well, please.

I hear ya' Bill! I know it doesn't seem like it, but this has been somewhat of a last-minute hunt that Deb came up with over this past week.  Deb DID mention months ago about all of us getting together again like her, Steve and myself did last Summer... but as far as inviting lots of people, it was sort of a random tip-of-the-hat thing. I'm sure if we had known so many people would have liked to come along, we would've started making plans a while back!! lol But I agree... maybe we can plan a formal hunt at some point during the Fall or Winter (depending on how cold it is down here). It sounds like a fun idea, so maybe something will come of it at some point if enough people want to meet up.  I know I'm always happy to meet & hunt with other T-Net members....  Bran <><
