I am having a very good time in Alaska fishing on the Kenai River. We are catching a lot of sockeye salmon and eating lots of food. George is an amazing cook, and I am sure I will gain at least 5 pounds while here. I am also having incredible times of fellowship with the other guys here fishing. There is something about fish camps and hunting camps that produce a unique bond between guys.

I am big-time sleep-deprived, often getting up at 3:00 am and occasionally fishing all night. I am trying hard to keep up with my Bible reading, Scripture memory, and prayer time, but I usually fall asleep while reading. We see moose most days, as well as otters and other wildlife. A plus for this year’s fishing trip is that my son Seth is fishing with me. Because he lives in Idaho, I don’t get to see him often, so I am very much enjoying this time.

‘I tell the Lord “thank You,” every day for the privilege of fishing in Alaska. James 1:17 says, “Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights.”
