We are at the Brownlee Resevior fishing with family. Thomas went out on the boat today in his wheel chair. It took a little man power to get him on the boat in his wheel chair and once on we tied the chair down real good. He has a Velcro band that holds a fishing pole to his left arm and he can use his palm on his right hand to operate the reel. He can’t cast but we got the boat over a very good school of crappie and he was able to open the bail and let the jig fall to the bottom of the water about 20 ft deep and then real it back up slowly and he caught a bunch of crappie. Grandson Josiah had a great time netting Thomas’s fish and unhooking them and then Thomas was dropping the jig back down for another fish. He even got into a little trash talking with his father in law. Today is the second anniversary of Thomas’s farming accident that broke his neck and paralyzed him. He and Sherri are doing very well not only managing this crisis, but turning it into an oportunity to glorify and serve God. I can’t think of a better way to conquer a trial and declare yourself a winner over it then to go fishing. Yeh Thomas!!
