Wes, Caleb, and Howard fishing at Perry Park, KY, 2003 |
From the files:
I got out of my chair of self pity long enough this week to take my grandson fishing. He got a rod and reel for this 4th birthday, and of course being the genius that he is- he immediately mastered the art of casting. As I sat in that little john boat with my son and grandson beside me-- seeing the deer on the shore, and the ducks on the lake through the eyes of a four year old, I took a deep breath and thought "This is a life that really matters." --Then I thought how my father-in-law had taught my son and me to fish on that same little lake--how we had often sat along the shore discussing the riddles of life. - That is what I mean by bearing fruit.
