Away for the Weekend or She is so Happy She is Dancing


Got away with the DW (devoted wife) just about 10 days ago. Wow that was great, great company, time to communicate and spend quiet time together. We rode our bikes around a small town. We shopped a little and even got a few Christmas gifts. The weather started out a bit wet but it was great 2 out of the 3 days. I would highly recommend all of you out there to do this, get away from the house and the kids. Talk, lay around in the morning till 11, eat dessert in bed, even get the Jacuzzi suite and soak for hours. That is what is called recharging, I understand that is a foreign concept but battle the busyness and get away and refresh and recharge the marriage. Guys this is a great time to investment not only in your wife but in your marriage.

No Fishing Report, however I did get a new set of tools for tying flies.

Have you ever wondered why things from your past come out of no where and smack you in the back of the head. The other day I had a moment like that, it was like a musky inhaling a Devil Horse only inches from the boat. It doesn’t matter what it was about but how I dealt with it. I did a poor job. I yelled. I cried. I apologized to my wife and kids. It is important to remember that the Lord got alone when he needed to sort things out. He went and prayed and talked to His Father. You have the same opportunity if you just slow down and cry out God, He will hear you. Take your past to Him and don’t take it out on your wife and kids. God already knows what happened and He is waiting for you to come to Him and say “Hey why did that happen” “Can you take it from me and let me be free of this” “Please cast it into the Sea of Forgetfullness”. You know that He will take it and it will be gone and you will be healed. By His wounds you are healed not just now but from the beginning of your life to the end it is all healed. Take heart and remember that your heavenly Father is there for you period; whenever you need, all you have to do is call out ABBA Father.

Fishing should pick up and be great for the next several weeks if the weather holds.

PS Sorry for the delay between post I have been fighting an infection.
