Second Chance

Well, it was Dick and Jane again and the numbers were way down from the past.  But hey, at 84 years old what else would you expect. They only caught 5 fish over 3 days, but what a three days it was.  We had a late spring, and the daily temperatures were single digits. The fishing was very tough as the water and air was so cold.  Dick and Jane went out every day and gave it their best even though they were not getting many bites.  If you want to catch a fish, first you have to get a bite.  If you want to get a bite, first you need a line in the water.  If you want a line in the water, it had better be a good line to catch the big one.  These people are always ready to go and get the job done.  Dick every night goes over the rods and reels and makes sure before bed that their gear is ready to rock and roll the next day.  This is because Dick was a Tournament Fisherman who fished for money.  He understood and knew that if you wanted to catch fish you needed the right gear.  Dick also knows if you are going to compete with a partner in a contest make sure your partner is the best.  And in life it seems like Dick and Jane have set the example as they enjoy life to the very end, will always support each other and fulfill their vows to each other. These people have spent so much time with me and my family that they are family too.  God has blessed me so much that he gave me two moms and dads and my children have an extra grandma and grampa. If there is one thing that we can agree on is that we will see each other in heaven as all Christians will have eternal life. Blessed are those who learn that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. God is so amazing that he brings his people together over the love of fish. To Dick and Jane, I shout out. KEEP ON ROCKING IN THE FREE WORLD. To the younger generation take my advice, don’t ever give up, and listen to your parents and your elders as they can help you.
