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!

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
