Gone Fishing Stories

Getting a group of fishermen together on a nice saturday morning is kind of like throwing a party for introverts. It’s hard to get people to show up. fishing day eml

About 40 guys and a slew of boats at this little but mighty country church. I suspect a nice breakfast helped the draw. Many are friends. father and son combos arrived as well as the guest speaker (Me). I’m still not sure if they clapped enthusiastically because I did a good job or because I was done in a timely fashion so they could git fishn..

Diversity all over the place. Why there were canoes, pontoons, big, little, old, new, and the guys were as different as the boats. I think I got about 3/4 of the guys in the picture as I was being introduced.fishing day a

Here is the starting point but not the gist of it.You guys have been telling stories all morning. . I want you to realize that your life is one big story and you only get one shot at it.” I followed with stories and points and ended quickly as we are fishermen, and fishing takes valuable time.

Thanks for the pictures guys

 


Without hesitation, these guys are helping each others story. As much as they love fishing, they realize that we only live in the dash between the numbers on our headstone someday. All the stories that we make happen on the water are much more important than the catching. Thanks for a great day Marty and gang.

  1. Looks like you guys had a great time together, Gary, my friend! I really like how you get the Word in by way of perspective in how this day, this moment counts so much in eternity! Blessings as you continue to live your daily life in Christ’s eternal service, my friend! Some great pics, too!

  2. Thanks G.W. My talk content lended itself to a ton of depth which was a great challenge both to me and the guys. People love depth when coming along side rather than confrontation style. Choose you this day….
