We did our big Labor Day holiday family thing Friday and Saturday when Josh and his family were here. So yesterday we had nothing special to do. I did some of my usual Monday morning work stuff. But I could sense the boredom working its magic.
I finally went to WalMart and tried out the Red Box. It was the first time we have used it. And I was really excited when I saw that they had the Green Lantern movie. We didn't get to see it in the theaters, and I was always a DC comics guy. I got it home and fired it up. And it was a cartoon. A feature length cartoon – the worst kind. I tried to watch it for a while, but I just couldn't do it. I could feel the sleep overtaking me. At least it was only a dollar. Maybe I should have tried Netflix first.
I finally went fishing just because I was bored. I didn't expect to catch anything. The wind was blowing out of the northeast. The tide was way low. On the positive side, it was quite cool. My expectations were met. I did catch a few croakers to use for bait on a later trip, but there was just no big action, even though there were lots of bait fish working. Then some kids came over near me. They were throwing a cast net just for fun. They gave me the four or five little mullet they caught, so I used them. I caught one small gaftop catfish and a Spanish mackerel. Kept the mackeral.
Right now I'm heading up to Seaside Christian Academy. Today is the first day of school. I want to pray with the staff and see the kids.
Ever read this proverb? It's a hoot.
Proverbs 25:16 says, "If you find honey, eat just enough — too much of it, and you will vomit."
Father, be with the kids at school this year. Touch the staff to be mirrors of your love. Amen.
