No FUb Story!
Having done my daily
devotional readings, this
week from Reflections of A
Hshlng Parson, by Johathan
C. Sams, I felt inspired
enough to go out and engage
in the favorite pastime of
preachers everywhere.
All the way up the Owyhee
River, I kept mulling over a
passage of Sams*, in this
particular chapter, he told of
feeling very close to God. In
fact, wrote the parson. "I felt
so close to God. that when I
finally caught a IS” trout, I
said to it ‘You are a creature
of God’s,' and let it go.”
Driving in my car,
I
imagined myself in such a
beautifully pastoral scene. It
must have been a beautiful,
inspiring moment.
Arriving at my favorite
spot on the river, 1 got my
gear together and waded into
the current. It wasn't easy
getting into a meditating
mood. The water is always
cold and my waders were in
the wife's car. Come to think
of it. it was my car and I’d
taken her's because of the air
conditioning- a move I was
currently regreting. But, if
the good Rev. Sams could do
it, so could the good Rev.
Monroe. An eleven inch
rainbow warmed my legs a
mite, but a quick slip and wet
sitting down took the warmth
back out.
”Ah! Thu is the life/" 1
said it loud enough to startle
a snake, which in turn
startled me. I began to
wonder whose life it was.
The closest I got to the
same feeling described in the
book was standing on a
makeshift dam (which I
hereby claim). Looking at the
canyon walls. I casted almost
absently into the swirl of
water. Just as I began to
deeply commune with God’s
creation, my line started
npptng off the reel! Fighting
for about five minutes. I
began to work a 16” rainbow
towards my net.
' AAARRRGGGHHH! ” I
yelled as the lure was spit
GGGLLLLUUUUBBB!'
out
yelled the fish as it found
itself trapped in the shallows
at my feet. SSPPLLAASSHH
yelled the river as 1 landed in
it trving to scoop the fish into
the net
OOUUCCHri!”
yelled my knee as it found the
lure.
Do you think 1 let that fish
go? I rationalized it all by
pointing out Sams' fish was
fifteen inches only, while
mine was sixteen and a half.
Driving back to Nyssa (not
Nice-a) I decided God has
still granted a meaningful,
albeit different, day to me. 1
was reminded of the words of
Robert Bums. "The best laid
plans of mice and men shall
oft foul and go astray..’*!
