Grandkids are so fun

Tuesday morning at 4 am we left for the Brownlee Reservoir with 3 daughters, two son in laws, a son , and 8 grandchildren. We stayed until Friday and camped at Hewitt Park in Richland, just East of Baker City. The fishing was crazy good. We caught 200 to 300 Crappie a day. It was probably the most enjoyable fishing trip I have ever been on, not because of the number of fish, but because of the great time I had with my grandkids. The oldest is 15 years old and the youngest  is 4  with the others being spaced out evenly between them. Several of them caught their first fish, and I was very honored to be with them when they did. I wanted to pay for all the expenses of the trip for everyone,  but we had given all of our extra money to the “Special Offering” we had just taken at JBC for our Radio ministry and for building expenses on our facility. On Monday we got an envelope in the mail with a $500 check enclosed made out to me with a note asaying that they listened to my preaching on the radio everyday and wanted to bless me and my family and to please keep the money and do something nice for my family. It was a great fishing trip made doubly nice by the financial support that was given to us. It was the exact amount needed do pay for the expenses of the fishing trip, and $100 more than I had put into the fishing trip.
