The Seceret To Fishing: Fish where the fish are.

Today was our first ice fishing trip of the season. We woke up early and headed out to Lake Winnipeg with my Uncle in his Nissan Murano (definitely not a off roading vehicle by any stretch). Navigating our way through the mess of cracks and pressure ridges proved hard in the bland horizon and the gray clouds that produced a heavy but fluffy snow fall. We didn't catch many, I only caught one and it was far from a keeper while my dad caught three keepers. Finding the fish on a lake the size of Lake Winnipeg proved to be harder today. As you can see from the picture there is a seemingly endless amount of lake to fish.
Even though we didn't catch many and ended up coming home early I still loved going out to the lake and spending time in the peaceful snowfall.
Ah Winter.

Ignorant?

Some time ago I had a conversation with a friend, they are not a close friend by any stretch or even a good friend of mine, they are someone that I talk to on a not so regular basis. We were talking about church and this was something they said about the church as a whole...

"Church is a place where you go just to listen to the pastor try to force their beliefs down your throat..."

They went on to say..

"Church is just a place where people try to make you believe what they do, and think exactly the same way they think..."

This statement seemed ignorant and misinformed to me.
I find the church to be a place where I am encouraged to dig deep, to come to my own conclusions, my own beliefs and way of thinking.

But, maybe I am the ignorant one.

Movin' Up!

So I am just beginning the third week at my new job of basement construction and I really like it so far. For the first time in a long time I actually feel motivated to drag my self out of bed. Even though I am far from being a valuable employee at the moment, ( In other words I suck at the job, For now.) I really enjoy the work. It is definitely not always the easiest work for me, it’s very physical and usually lots of physical activity is hard for a fat guy with out much time to refuel. I still feel motivated to keep at it. Another plus is I feel like I am doing something useful with myself. I have made a lot of goals recently, some I probably have no business in trying to complete, but I hope that with the money I save from this job I can begin to fulfill some of the goals I have made.


I guess you can say “I’m movin’ up!”
