Jesus gives us the power of redirection
Jesus gives us the power of redirection
Sometimes in this life we need redirection. Oftentimes this is nuanced with concepts of utter life changing, habit altering, intense psychological changes. But that is usually in extreme cases. What I want to talk about today is the subtle ways we can redirect ourselves towards Christ and by the same token redirect others through our daily interactions with people. 03/21/2025 09:10 AM

Good news, bad news on the lake
Good news, bad news on the lake
This week’s report has one of those “Good News & Bad News” scenarios with the Good News being that the White Bass and Hybrid Stripers are now showing up on the Main Lake and we will soon be loading the ice chest with lots of both! The Bad News is that Mother Nature has decided we don’t need to be on the Lake as often as we want too as the WINDS and some rain has made the forecast tough for the beginning of Spring Break Week! As much as we hate to call off a fishing trip, over the past 25 years we have learned to respect the weather and always err on the side of safety when it comes to battling the elements on Lake Richland Chambers. 03/21/2025 09:10 AM
