For the last ten years or so when we are up here fishing we go to Soldotna Bible Chapel on Sunday morning at 9:30 am. We went this morning and I had a great time worshiping the Lord and being in his presence. The worship was great and the preaching was alright. The Pastor didn’t hold my attention as well as Mike does, but I was blessed anyway. When church was done we drove to the Kenai airport and picked up my son-in-law Luke Doughton and my grandson, Will Doughton.

When the salmon are running it is easy to skip church, skip Bible reading, prayer and all the rest of my daily disciplines. But I don’t skip any of those basics because it gets easier and easier to skip if I do, and the consequences are serious. It may not affect the number of fish you catch, but it very well could impact how you will do at the judgment seat of Christ.
