M. J. Longstreth is an outdoorsman, a hunter, a fisherman, a gunsmith, a preacher, a tool room machinist, a truck driver, a writer, and a poet.

He has been all of these and more. And through it all, he had tried to keep his eyes, ears, and heart open to:
--See and appreciate the beauty in the natural world around us.
--Celebrate the joy of a life that is lived to its fullest.
--And to listen to the voice of God in the stillness of the morning.
