Some people leave on a jet plane. Today, I am leaving on an old boat.
I am meeting up with Barry, one of my oldest and best friends to do some fishing. I have known Barry since I was 13 years old and we have been on many fishing trips together. The great thing about these trips is I never know what to expect. We fish off of old boats and usually break down at least. Sometimes we get the boat running well enough to get back home, sometimes we don’t. Floating in the Gulf of Mexico on a broken down boat is a great faith building exercise.
Today will most likely be no exception. We are going out on a boat that hasn’t run in three years…until this week. I can only imagine the spiritual lessons God has to teach me over the next day and a half (Oh yeah, we plan to be back around lunchtime tomorrow…overnighter).
So, goodbye…for now at least.
