Adventure and No Fish


NO Fishing I am sorry to say so the report is good for the fish and bad for me. However I am eyeing a small pond that has large bass, we will see about that.

The herd has grown 2 more rabbits living in the hutches now. They are Netherland Dwarfs.

The harvest of Tomatoes, Peppers Melons and Sweet potatoes is in full swing and did I mention eggplant WOW are they good.

Now to the subject for the day, Adventure. I just watched Fish Bum1: Mongolia wow what a great adventure. It is a story of 4 guys that traveled to Mongolia to catch the elusive taimen. Anyway it got me to thinking about what an adventure God calls us to join Him in. Paul went on several adventures, and what an adventure Abraham had. He basically went to the end of the drive and said which way Lord and so it began. Do we do that, do we ask God each day which way I go or what should I do today or better yet who do I reach out to today. I don’t know about you but I don’t ask those questions everyday, maybe I should start by asking God “how do I serve my wife and kids today”, “should I pray with so and so today about the problems they are facing” or “how can I help someone out today”. Are you ready for an adventure? It may not be like going to Mongolia to catch really big fish (although I think Peter and the rest of the disciples would go with us to do that, remember they were fishermen) but it may take you to the far side of the earth. I don’t know where God will lead me but I am sure it will be quite a ride. I know that I will always be safe the Bible tells me that once I am in his hand I cannot be removed. So sit down and strap in I think it will be in for a wild ride but one that will make an eternal difference.
