Dear Heavenly Father,Thank you for sending Your Son, Jesus, to die for our sins so that we might have eternal life. I am grateful to be Your child. I thank You for purifying me from the things that are not like You. Lord, I cannot cleanse myself, but I know when I ask You to remove the things in my life that are wicked, You will come and do it. Keep me this day from temptation and fill me with Your love and help me to become more and more like You. I asked this in the name of Your…

The enemy of more is satisfaction.  The sentiment might apply to the accrual of material goods, it might apply to athletic achievement, but I heard it in the context of God’s heart for me.  “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us…”  Instantly I asked myself,…

Lures, flies and spinners

multiple techniques.





Casting carefree lines

For fishy hook-ups.

Fishing is an art form of…

Posing as insects.



The splashing fishes

are vying for attention

during school’s recess.

In the Gospel of Matthew, in the twenty-seventh chapter, Jesus is before Pilate, the Roman governor. Having been accused of crimes such as blasphemy, the Sanhedrin brought Him to Pilate hoping he would find Jesus guilty and sentence Him to death. But Pilate, after questioning Jesus, found no guilt in Him. But after the elders insisted that he sentence Jesus to be crucified. So, Pilate, bowing to pressure, handed Jesus over to be crucified and washed his hands,…

Dear Heavenly Father,Thank you for Your Words of wisdom in the Bible. Lord, please help us to avoid anger and strife toward others. Give us Your spirit of love and a burden to pray for those that come against us or try to stir up trouble with us. Lord, You be our umpire in matters where we disagree with others. Help us to have an humble attitude toward You and the people around us, yet maintain a vigilant and forceful prayer life against the powers of darkness that cause people to stir…

Ok, yesterday I looked in the backally and guess what I saw? A rabbit! I love watching the wildlife (which isn't too often though) and taking pictures makes it even better!
