Today's Photograph . . . . Let's Give Those Trials To Him and He Will Give Us Peace (Tom L) |
Bible Study Verse
James 1:2-4
Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. (NIV)
Thoughts
During the later part of the summer, the surface temperature in the mountain lakes of the Wind River Range reaches the low to mid 60s. Fly fishing depths of 10-14 feet require a full sink line to reach those depths.
During the later part of the summer, the surface temperature in the mountain lakes of the Wind River Range reaches the low to mid 60s. Fly fishing depths of 10-14 feet require a full sink line to reach those depths.
A friend of mine that I
was fishing with had difficulty reaching those depths with sink tip
line. My friend ordered some type III full sink line and was anxious to
try out his new line.
My friend filled his
float tube with a compressor, place it in the back of the truck, and
drove to a higher elevation lake. We paddled across the lake close to
the inlet.
My friend was very happy with the line after catching a couple nice Yellowstone Cutthroats.
All of a sudden I
heard what sounded like a shotgun blast. I turned around to see my
friend swimming to shore. His tube exploded!!! He didn't lose any fly
fishing equipment, but was a little cold, confused, and shook up.
Overfilling with a compressor, sunlight heating up the tube, and the change in elevation all contributed to the high pressure.

Action Point
As we know, life is full of trials. The questions are:
How do we handle them?
Do we allow God to work in us to develop character traits of endurance and patience?
Sportsmen's Tip of the Day
To be sure you won't overfill your float tube, wait until you get to your destination. Use a hand pump or a 12V pump and top it off by using your mouth.
