May you find the peace you are looking for this Christmas. In a world filled with power hungry leaders playing the real life game of “Simon Says“, We will always have the choice to find peace by knowing and following the Price of Peace.
May you find the opposite of what the world gives. Good news, peace, joy, love and purpose. “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” John 14:27
Here is a peek at snow falling for 8 seconds. You can use it as a background?? and a few images from this season. And, yes I have been busy fishing.
Merry Christmas wherever you are in the world

I don’t live in ice fishing 🎣 territory, but am guessing it took awhile to haul those two Muskies out of the lake!

I found you comment in my spam file David. That’s disconcerting.
I was actually in very shallow water and I was using 50 lb test line. I can haul them out before they know whats happening when jigging directly below the ice. One got off my hook in the hole and gave a surge with it’s tail and landed 3 feet from the hole on top of the ice. They are northern pike and look a bit like a musky

The world offers us fear. I used to tell my men that fear was a deceptive shadow. If we walk through it, God will part that veil with peace beyond. If we don’t, fear will be our master.
“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil for thou are with me.”
Merry Christmas, Gary.

The world cannot seem to come up with anything bigger than fear can it? Even the fear of death has ben conquered. What a gift! Our token gifts to one another should all point to God’s greatest gift.
