Another Good Day Fishing

Last Saturday morning it was pouring rain here but the weather forecast said that the rain would stop and the sun would shine. And so it did.

I was at IRBC for the father/son retreat to listen to the speaker, Pastor James Reynolds. During a break before lunch was served the rain stopped ans the sun emerged and I was on the dock.

Within 45 minutes I again had my limit of walleyes! The first one landed was the largest at 21 inches!

It has been a very good season so far this year for walleyes at the camp!

Fishing @ Iowa Regular Baptist Camp

Took some personal time this evening to go fishing and had an incredible time! Caught my limit of walleye's, legal length for walleye's on Clear Lake is 3 fish 14 inches or larger. Mine were 15 - 15 - 16! As you look at the pictures notice the girth of the 16 inch fish. By the way ... The filets were spectacular and I'm looking forward the lunch tomorrow!

Pastor Steve!

A Wild Weekend!

Very bust weekend!

State-wide youth rally on Saturday in Altoona, just East of Des Moines. Left Clear Lake at 7 AM and returned home around 8 PM. Long day in 50 degree weather with high winds and spitting rain.

Sunday afternoon we drove to Des Moines for a family photo shoot. This was the kids Mother's Day gift to Lynn. We left Clear Lake right after our morning service, around 12 noon, and was back to Clear Lake in time for me preach in our 6 PM service. That is a flying trip!

Monday afternoon we drove to Des Moines to put Susan on a plane to South Africa! She is on a college mission trip and will begone until June 4.

The only good thing about all of this traveling is that the price of fuel is so low!

Stop Already!

Just a quick note!

Between the President and the "birth certificate" fiasco book-ended with the "Royal Wedding" my head is ready to explode!

Frankly Scarlet...WHO CARES!

What about $4.00 a gallon gas, world wide terrorism, devastating spring weather clean-up......the list goes on & on & on & on!

Would just one grown-up step up and lead!

Just saying......

Blogger Briefs

So much going on ...I really don't know where to start.

Attended the Talents for Christ event in Des Moines at the beginning of April and the young people of our church did very well. One of our young ladies will be traveling to Denver in June for a National Competition!

I had the privileged to attend the Ordination Counsel and Ordination Service of Pastor Jeriah Shank. Jeriah did perhaps the finest job of knowing and handling the Word of God that I have ever seen as a part of an ordination. So very thankful for God's working in his life!

We just finished up a 12 week bible/worldview study titled: "The Truth Project" from Focus on the Family. This video is led by Del Tackett who  does a VERY good job and I found this a very challenging series. If you have the chance to walk through this video series, I would highly recommend this study!

Until Later,  
Pastor Steve
