The clip shows the family circle the “baby bear” with their boat, and getting close enough to pull off the plastic jug from the animal’s head. “We saved our little bear!” Hurt exclaims moments after the bear is freed. “Swim happy!”

Hurt went on to say that the bear made it safely to shore. Wisconsin is home to a thriving black bear population, around 24,000 bears, live in the northern part of the state.

Never dreamt we would ever do this in our life time. Out on Marshmiller Lake yesterday with Brian Hurt and Brady Hurt when we spotted this poor bear. He made it to shore after all that.

Verse of the Day

“[Jesus Predicts His Death a Third Time] Now Jesus was going up to Jerusalem. On the way, he took the Twelve aside and said to them, “We are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death and will hand him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified. On the third day he will be raised to life!””

Matthew 20: 17-19
