Fishing Update


I have had a few ask me about my fishing escapades this summer. I picked up a new hobby around Father's Day when my boys gave me a fishing pole and gift certificate at Debbie's Bait Shop in Quenemo.

I wanted to catch catfish for our annual "4th of July Family Day" so I started the process this summer. Our neighbor had been providing us with catfish fillets but being the "strong male food provider who wants to do it all by himself" felt like I could provide the fish.

It has been an enjoyable and successful summer. I usually go out in late evenings once a week and maybe early Saturday morning before breakfast. I have caught several good size catfish and have really enjoyed the quiet, peaceful experience. My brother and niece also join me on Saturday mornings. After fishing we always head for Green Acres for breakfast.

I have read a lot about catfish and fishing this summer, but hate to admit it, I have my own way of doing things.

Many times we have that same mindset when it comes to those things God demands of us. We do what we want to do not what he tells us we must do. It's that selfishness and self-centeredness that we constantly battle.
