“Ramp-N-Clamp is a great product. I was a little skeptical as I have been through many boat buddies over the last 10 years on 3 different boats. After the third was smashed I just installed the roller that comes on the new boats. But I always loved not having to get out of the truck or boat when loading. Now with the RNC loading is as easy as it can get. I gotta say this this is awesome. Just the fact that it is made with a material that actually lets the boat slide up is a huge difference, not to mention that clamping feature is WAY better than that stupid pin the boat buddy had. I've been using the RNC for about a month now and it has worked perfect every time...even when my wife has slammed it pretty hard. I just wanted to give my 2 cents as I think this product is great. Happy customer “
“I was order 195. Took me 5 minutes to put it on and have to say one of the best products I have bought in a long time. Never had a boat buddy, but this is flawless. Every time I hear that "click" I smile. Well done Joe. I hope this product gains you a lot of success.”
“Testimony. The RNC has been awesome since the install weeks ago. Last weekend at the ramp when I was loading the boat on the trailer, heard the "click" told my wife to pull me out. When the trailer was coming out of the water I heard a kid tell her dad "we need a trailer like that" haha. They were at the ramp when we motored in and still putting their boat on the trailer while I was wiping the boat down. Awesome product!”
“I have to share some great customer service I just got from Joe at Ramp-n-Clamp... I got the notice saying that my order shipped in early June, but I hadn't received anything by June 24th. I emailed Ramp-n-Clamp to ask if they could track the order from their end because the trail just sort of disappeared once it went into Canada... Joe had to spend a few hours on the phone with them to figure out what happened. Turns out, it was on a mail truck from Chicago to Canada that caught fire, and all mail was destroyed!
“Have used mine for a week now. It is so much better than the old model. I also had 2 buddies buy and they love theirs also. Great product and great service Joe.”
“Put mine on in two minutes after wife dropped boat in water, slapped it on and tightened it down, and surfed all day! We didn't get back to ramp till 11 at night, glad it worked ! What a great piece product.”

In “Invitation” by Joyce Hollyday*, the author reminds us that Jesus’ first recorded words after the resurrection are “Do not be afraid.” These same words appear in regard to his birth, his ministry, and his death, besides the Resurrection. And they also appeared as a message from God throughout the Old Testament. It is an age old message, repeating like a heartbeat throughout time as God continues to call us to Himself.
Learning more about Jesus and the power of his Resurrection, the perfect love that is calling to us, helps us to understand what the apostle John later put into words in 1 John 4:18, “There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out all fear.”
Those personal fears that seem so near, shrink in importance when we can embrace the truer reality of a loving and living God.
Easter Sunday is here again. The best news the world has ever known is still alive and true today.

Thomas Ken has been called “England’s first hymnist.” He was born in Little Berkhampstead on the fringe of London. When his parents died, he was raised by his half-sister and her husband, who enrolled him, Winchester College. He was later ordained in ministry and returned to Winchester as a chaplain. He wrote three hymns in 1674 to encourage the devotional habits of the boys. The hymns were song privately in their rooms. All three hymns ended with a common stanza, “Praise God, from Whom All Blessings Flow.” He became a chaplain to England’s King Charles II. He then became a bishop. The Doxology was sung at his funeral.
Dear Lord: Awake, my soul, and with thy daily stage of duty run. Shake off dull sloth and joyful rise, to pay thy morning sacrifice. All praise to Thee, my God, this night, for all the blessings of the light! Keep me, O keep me, King of kings, beneath Thine own almighty wings. Amen

Samuel Wesley, Sr. was a penniless and unpopular Anglican pastor in Epworth, England and it riled him that his wife, Susanna’s kitchen Bible studies were more popular that his sermons. He was often severe. His crops were burned, livestock maimed and even his home was torched by Epworth’s citizens. He lost his manuscripts and hymns in the fire. Only one hymn, “Behold the Savior of Mankind” was rescued from a 1709 fire at Samuel’s home. This hymn became the

Russell Kelso Carter was an athlete, rancher, educator, preacher and physician. He was surrounded by Christian influences since his birth in Baltimore. He wondered from the truth as a school boy until age 15, when under the influence of the cadet prayer-meeting he made a profession of faith in Jesus. But he made a mistake, he did not forsake is old companions and an up-and-down experience for 14 years. He was on the verge of death from his chronically diseased heart. He had heard of the “prayer of faith” for healing. He made a consecration that covered everything. A quietness came over him. He recovered in three days and served the Lord the rest of his life and wrote the hymn, “Standing on the Promises” in 1886.

…For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ. 1 Corinthians 10:4
This verse is appropriate for all of life’s situations. Erastus Johnson was born in a logging camp on the banks of the Penobscot River north of Bangor, Maine. He wanted to enter the ministry but his poor health and eyesight prevented him from attending seminary. At age seventeen, he became a schoolteacher.

He wrote the hymn, “The Rock That Is Higher Than I” in 1871 after attending a YMCA convention. William Fischer composed the music for this hymn.
My prayer for the week: Dear Lord, Thank you for being our Rock. You keep our thoughts pure and undefiled. You feed our hungry souls with love, grace and kindness. Thank you, Jesus Christ. Amen

Mary Fulkner was born in London and her family immigrated to America when she was young. After marrying John Thompson, they joined the Church of the Annunciation (Episcopalian) in Philadelphia. Mary and her husband, John, served the church for many years. Mary enjoyed writing poetry and penned more than forty hymns. She began writing the rousing missionary hymn “O Zion, Haste” in 1868. At the time she was a worried mother sitting at the bedside of her dangerously ill son, who had typhoid fever. She completed the hymn three years later when she wrote the refrain.
My prayer for the week is one of the original verses she wrote for the hymn which is left out of most hymnals: Dear Lord, “Tis thine to save from peril of perdition the souls for whom the Lord His life laid down; Beware lest, slothful to fulfill thy mission, Thou lose one jewel that should deck His crown. Amen
