    Default Be careful!


    I pastor full time and was at church this evening working and got a call about a 19 year old boy that was fishing this morning and had a boating accident. They just called and said they found his body and today was his 19th birthday. I hate getting these calls. I have known this family for years and cannot imagine what they are going through! I thought I would post this and just say be careful out on the water! I myself get in a hurry at times and must say I have gotten use to running certain lakes and get a little careless! We all have loved ones waiting on us and sure wouldn't want my family or yours getting a call like this one! Please keep this family in your prayers.

    That's sad. Guys we all need to think about this ESP us cold water fishermen. I try to tell myself if I do fall in I'm going to stay calm, try to swim to the boat and if I can't get rid of some clothes. I try to only wear the bulky clothes when I'm running from spot to spot.

    TJ Stallings posted once that while his Dad had a tackle shop, several of their customers were found after falling out of the boat, and many were found with their zippers down from relieving themselves. Complacency is a bad thing for us to indulge in this time of year with the water temps as low as they are. Running and paying attention to the details means coming back home in one piece. A 19 year old hadn't even begun to live and is now gone. I didn't know him and I feel a sense of loss. Terrible news. My prayers go out to the friends and family.

    My condolences to the fmiuly and friends. I think it has all already been said....just be extra careful and go that extra mile towards being safe out there especially during the cold water months.
    Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.
