Gone fischin’

Hikin’ to the top of a mountain

Drinkin’ water from a cool, clear stream

Watchin’ the sunset and talkin’ to God

And knowin’ He loves me.

It’s long overdue … Chandler and I are off on that camping trip we’ve promised each other for a very long time. This announcement was actually ready to go out yesterday, but a Catch business emergency delayed us a day. We will see, but the virus has a way of making everything tentative. 

With or without me, the Catch continues its ministry with Marti available to stay behind (happily I might add*) and field any of your thoughts, questions, or concerns to the volunteer expert who will serve you best.  You can reach Marti at <catchjohnfischer@icloud.com>

I will let you know how well we fare when I meet back up with you next Monday at the Catch. 

Yours always for this journey,

John

* Marti’s idea of camping is a Holiday Inn with a swimming pool outside instead of inside.

    I’m with Marti 100%! MY idea of camping is a 42ft. 5th wheel – 2 A/Cs, 2 TVs, king size bed, residential frig., microwave, theatre recliners – pulled by an F250 diesel! I’ll fish, swim, get sunburned, walk til I drop all day long, but at the end of the day I say, “God bless ‘glamping!’” Have a safe, blessed, fun father and son time! Laugh a lot!

    1. Thank you, Sandie. Wow. Best of both worlds!

    Hey Marti (and Sandie) … my idea of roughing it is being on the third floor and the ice machine is on the second. Tammy
