Snake eats a Fish and Boys Circle the Wagons




Fishing Report: Awesome the Big Walnut yielded over 20 this week in about 4 hours. None of any great size but great beauty Pumpkinseed can’t be beat for vivid color.
A snake did well also eating a 8 incher on the bank.

Circle the Wagons Men. God did not call us to go alone. Jesus called two to follow Him and soon after called 10 more. Do you travel along the road by yourself saying “me and Jesus” well that won’t work and is not even scriptural. Matthew 20:20 says “For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them.” So if you go it alone you are not following Christ edict. Call a friend; call your brother in Christ, your pastor or elder. Be honest and direct don’t beat around the bush if you are struggling with something and have been for some time you are in crisis my friend. Satan is waiting like a lion to devour you. Run and get help don’t wait for rescue. Only you can prevent “Forest Fires” don’t let your world, marriage, and family burn down. We have all been there and we all need help; only God can rescue us from our sin, but the Body of Christ is here to help with the battle. We have all had our own battles maybe not the same as yours but all have the same effects of broken promises and hearts. Swallow your pride and choose well and let go. Share your battle with someone who is along your trail to help. God has a plan and I being a Calvinist believe that God did not create the Persimmon Tree without knowing that the opossum would be created the next day. The Bible is clear that will never be put in a situation that we cannot handle but that being said I believe someone has been placed on our way to help, and yes I do mean in our way. There is a choice and we can either work around that help or reach out and accept the help and move forward. Solomon says a chord of three is not easily broken so find a battle veteran and go forth in prayer and wage war on your struggle, temptation or addiction.
