Fishing Fun

This weekend is "Free Fishing Weekend" in Oregon.  It allows the public to fish, clam, or crab anywhere in Oregon without a fishing license or tag.  Today we took the kids to Henry Hagg Lake to fish.  It was raining all day but we had a great time.  We are true Oregonians :) .  There’s a saying, "A woman who has never seen her husband fishing doesn’t know what a patient man she married!"  Well, now I can say, "A mom who has never seen her kids fishing doesn’t know what patient kids she raised!" :)  They were so thrilled when fish bit and tugged and they got to reel in real wiggling fish.  This is the first fish my 8 year-old son caught but we let it go because it’s too small.  Isn’t it so cute?

Later he got a beautiful rainbow trout…

Then my 13 year-old daugther got one.

Well, the Lord wanted to bless all three kids so He helped my 5 year-old son catch one, too.

We all enjoyed eating delicious fresh fish dish for dinner.  The wonderful aroma still lingers in the air :) . 

"’Come, follow Me,’ Jesus said, ‘and I will make you fishers of men.’" Matthew 4:19  Don’t feel discouraged if you haven’t caught anything (anyone).  It takes "patience."  Keep praying for the unreached & unsaved and reaching out sharing the Gospel with love (…love is patient…)!  Oh..the thrill of leading someone into God’s kingdom is worth all the work and waiting!

DVD Review and Giveaway: A Mile in His Shoes

A Mile in His Shoes is a family-friendly movie (PG) about a young man diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome (a form of autism) and how his God-given talent (his amazing throwing ability) helps him and others. It's about overcoming challenges in life. It is based on the book "The Legend of Mickey Tussler" (a true story). It's directed by William Dear, the director of "Angels In the Outfield." It stars Dean Cain who plays Arthur Murphy, a baseball coach and Luke Schroder who plays Mickey, the main character. Excellent performances! My family and I enjoyed this movie. It spoke to my heart deeply because one of my kids has symptoms that are similar to Asperger's Syndrome but the doctors diagnosed him with anxiety disorder, instead. My son is very athletic and great with numbers like Mickey. He is also sensitive to noise and crowds like Mickey. When Coach Murphy sees Mickey (a farmer boy) throw apples at a bucket for his pigs, he knows that he has just fo
