    Enjoyed the walk and talk. Did you go to a school for your theology studies?

    My first deer rifle was a pretty 64 Winchester. Got many deer with it dad and my brothers called me rifle man because if the buck was moving I was flinging lead lol

    This was definitely one of your best creek walks to date. And I agree with what you said about gathering the trash; you’re not there to harvest everyone else’s garbage. It needs to be a community effort πŸ‘ You did an awesome job when talking to the young guy; hopefully he did listen to your advice and took much of your entire conversation to heart πŸ™

    Champion started on the back shelf of K-Mart..! Around my area the homeless start out with β€œCan you spare some change”..??? But they start talking gospel to get to your heart strings…. Thanksgiving before last I found a dead homeless guy at one of my favorite creeks, I still think about that guy and what put him in that position. It was the day after the first below freezing night of the year, he had on all new clothes and shoes… It was so sad…

  6. Donelle Miller on September 21, 2023 at 9:18 pm

    Hope your thoughtful words help the homeless young man. So good you respected him enough to not record your conversation. You have a good heart, and definatly offered sound advice – I pray it takes root. Thanks for sharing.

    Nice clear water

    Whose the guy walking in front of you, looks like he’s shadowing you….πŸ˜†πŸ‘πŸ»

  9. John Powell on September 21, 2023 at 9:22 pm

    Get a bag of plastic balls, write Jim’s name on all of ’em and set ’em free, then tell him to start looking out for them. Who knows?

    πŸ₯° The biggest & bestest treasure was found sleeping 😴 on a branch in a tree 🌳πŸ₯°

    I never gave homelessness much of a thought until recently. Seeing more and more of it all the time. I started to research a little and found that about 40% of homeless ppl work 40 hour per week jobs. Minimum wage in 2009 was $7.25. Minimum wage now is $7.25. In most states a person needs to earn $21.21 per hour just to afford rent for a modest 2 bedroom home. With a little over $16 per hour being the average income. The middle class is disappearing. For those of us that own our homes and being homeless has never really been a threat, it’s easy to forget that their are ppl sleeping on the streets. Children sleeping on the streets. The poverty problem in america is solvable. The 400 wealthiest ppl in America combined wealth in 2009 totaled $1.7 trillion, today it’s over $3 trillion. There’s something with that. I think that is a contributing factor to so much drug abuse in this country. I mean, that’s not even considering inflation for the lowest income ppl since 2009.
    Sorry for the long post.

  12. Julz Mgrforll on September 21, 2023 at 9:27 pm

    I don’t believe there is a commandment against homelessness but I have not got all the way to the back of the book so I could be a wrong.

  13. Rick Sheetz on September 21, 2023 at 9:31 pm

    enjoyed, take care stay safe

  14. patricia guillory on September 21, 2023 at 9:32 pm

    I loved your talk today – my kind of thinking – thank you!!!

  15. Tillman SomethinRother on September 21, 2023 at 9:33 pm

    Creek huntin is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’ll get. πŸ˜ƒ

  16. sharon beckett on September 21, 2023 at 9:33 pm

    Great to see you back in the moisture on a beautiful sunny day. This creek would be lovely for swishing when it gets warmer. I don’t talk about religion as I have my own beliefs. Great video πŸ‘πŸ˜Š

  17. mdwdirect on September 21, 2023 at 9:33 pm

    I would have watched your entire conversation with the young man.

  18. MNpicker on September 21, 2023 at 9:34 pm

    Your good people EAπŸ‘πŸΌ

  19. Chris Haefner on September 21, 2023 at 9:34 pm

    I addicted to this channel. Just the way he speaks a sentence… He hits you with a joke you never expect. Great work!

  20. danny raleigh on September 21, 2023 at 9:34 pm

    some people need that someone to show them the way . I believe ,but its always good to show them ,GOD is always there .

  21. Ohio River Flints of time by Charlotte and Todd. on September 21, 2023 at 9:36 pm

    You need to go back to the Caltrop creek!

  22. Karla Tullos on September 21, 2023 at 9:37 pm

    You’re a good man, Charlie Brown, (E.A.) and I’m proud to know you. ❀️

  23. Mary Degenkolb on September 21, 2023 at 9:37 pm

    Maybe you just saved that young mans life and set him on a path to be a better man.Β  Hopefully he will get some help.

  24. Mike Damizia on September 21, 2023 at 9:38 pm

    I was really getting into that young man’s story. I hope he takes your advice.

  25. Lindasvintagelife on September 21, 2023 at 9:40 pm

    No such thing as a chance encounter. So cool you were able to chat with him and sad that his parents went through so much to bring him here and make him part of their family only to have them break up and now none of them talk. Breaks my heart for this young man.

  26. Rodney Bushnell on September 21, 2023 at 9:40 pm

    to bad you did not record your talk with the homeless guy down on his luck.Praying the lord will bless him with all that is good.

  27. J W on September 21, 2023 at 9:41 pm

    You just saved a young man. You gave him your time & advice. EA YOU MADE A DIFFERENCE. GOD GUIDES US TO WHERE WE NEED TO BE. (As AMERICAN’S we are all one paycheck away from being homeless. This a true fact). I’m overjoyed he knows JESUS. THANK You EA for telling him to enlist so he can achieve all he wants. A fresh great start to the good life family friends & an income.. I PRAY HE DOES THIS.. GOD BLESS

  28. Vicki Bonness on September 21, 2023 at 9:42 pm

    Number your videos you can keep them in order. We can watch them in order

    I grew up in Orange Co, California and ended up in Montgomery, Alabama.

  30. Nascarmomma M on September 21, 2023 at 9:44 pm

    Thanks for the update on Jim, Jim if you read this we are all thrilled to know you are doing well and back at workβ€ΌοΈβ€ΌοΈπŸ™πŸ» I had to watch twice, such interesting story. Thank you for taking time to speak with this young man. As my sister always says β€œeverything happens for a reason. β€œ ~ Texas

  31. Robert Riggleman on September 21, 2023 at 9:45 pm

    Glad you talked to the homeless guy God Bless you E. A.

  32. Betty Schneider on September 21, 2023 at 9:49 pm

    Yes anyone can become homeless! 😲 because of different reasons! But as a teenager in 1970s I lived in a shack and no running water we had to carry it! Had an outhouse! And no car! Not much money! But now I feel blessed to have a nice apartment with running water & electric! 😲 and washer & dryer & dish washer! I still can’t afford a car! But you can’t have everything? .. Lol πŸ˜† people who do have everything doesn’t know what it feels like to do without they can’t even imagine at all! πŸ’’β›ͺβ›ͺβ›ͺπŸ“–πŸ“πŸ“œπŸ“šπŸŒˆπŸ‘πŸπŸπŸπŸπŸπŸπŸπŸπŸπŸπŸπŸπŸπŸπŸπŸπŸπŸπŸ ✝ ✝ ✝

  33. Jilly Bean on September 21, 2023 at 9:49 pm

    First…yay Jim!!!! πŸ‘ Second…Grandma always told me everything happens for a reason; it’s God’s plan…and I believe he crossed your paths today….for a reason πŸ‘ and third…this was a beautiful creek walk for several reasons 😊 but that marble πŸ‘€πŸ€©

  34. Randolph Relic Recovery on September 21, 2023 at 9:50 pm

    People never set out to be homeless and you’re right it’s not all self inflicted. Good for youπŸ‘

  35. 1 of HIS on September 21, 2023 at 9:51 pm

    The comment section is actually a very good platform to witness to the lost and encourage our Christian brothers and sisters. The bad thing is today so many say they’re CHRISTIAN but do not talk about HIM in any setting. The truth of the matter is WHAT COMES OUT OF YOUR MOUTH IS IN YOIR HEART. So to all that read this if
    Jesus aint coming out of your mouth constantly something is wrong.

  36. Stephanie Truly on September 21, 2023 at 9:51 pm

    Woohoo Jim! ❀

  37. badmom2 goody on September 21, 2023 at 9:52 pm

    It is so nice to hear someone who is not afraid to say they believe in Jesus. What a wonderful way to witness.

  38. Blair Arthur on September 21, 2023 at 9:54 pm

    yah might not off found any bottles but ya might off saved someone

  39. Sedora Green on September 21, 2023 at 9:54 pm

    You’re a good man, Charlie Brown!

  40. Mike on September 21, 2023 at 9:55 pm

    Thank you for your story, very interesting.

  41. MKay's Artful Journey on September 21, 2023 at 9:56 pm

    Looks like a cap off a truck tire.

  42. debcarnes100 on September 21, 2023 at 9:57 pm

    Great news about Jim. Thank you for taking the time to talk with that young gentleman about the gospel. You did a wonderful thing.

  43. Trixie R on September 21, 2023 at 9:57 pm

    Glad to hear about Jim! Been wondering how he is.

  44. Detecting NY. Johnson on September 21, 2023 at 9:59 pm

    I am so grateful for folks who take time out of their lives to show kindness. I once was with out a place to live as well. Careing goes a long way!!❀

  45. Donna Dicks on September 21, 2023 at 10:00 pm

    God put you where you needed to be this morning.

  46. Suzanne Barker on September 21, 2023 at 10:02 pm

    If people won’t an earth they should not throw trash away 😑 you should build A snowman out of all the golf balls πŸ˜‚

  47. Cornbreadjack digs Tenn on September 21, 2023 at 10:03 pm

    Hmmm…your day job could be administering to the homeless found in the creek..you did a fine job EA,and hopefully this guy will get a nice position in the military..those golf balls seem to gather in herds sometimes..nice clear stream for sure..

  48. EZ Diggin on September 21, 2023 at 10:08 pm

    Glad to hear that he is doing better.

  49. Michelle Phoenix on September 21, 2023 at 10:09 pm

    This is why I became attracted to your video’s. And your right, they are someone’s son, daughter,sister, brother, mom or dad. And they all have a story some of us will never know. Keep being true EA. Thanks for doing what you did with that lost soul.

  50. Audrey Muzingo on September 21, 2023 at 10:10 pm

    Who sleeps on a tree limb, like how would that be preferable to the ground? I fear he might have been contemplating hanging himself from that tree. I hope I’m wrong but if not, you may have just saved his life. If he was in a Russian orphanage to the age of seven, he was likely neglected severely, giving him a much later start on mental and emotional skills that most kids develop in those years.
