Outdoors With Kevin Fox: What Would Your Choices Be?

On an October drive back from a waterfowl hunt in South Dakota, riding shotgun with me was good friend and fellow church member Mark Arnold. On such trips, those riding shotgun have two purposes: first, to make sure we don’t get lost and take the wrong turn; second — and certainly more important — to keep the driver from drifting off and falling asleep at the wheel.
