Page 20 - shelby shopper & info - 704/484-1047 www.shelbyinfo.com Thursday, August 11-August 17, 2022 I have fi shed since I was a teenager. I started fi shing for carp in the canals of my little town. As and older teenager, my occasional trip to the levee was one of my most memorable outings and it gave me an opportunity to catch a bass. I was fi fteen before I took my fi rst trip to the lake. As a young adult, I spent many hours on those lakes. Crappie, largemouth, and white bass were the species I knew best. As I got a little older, I learned the nuances of the small rivers in my area. I have fi shed the shallow crappie waters of Alabama and the multitude of small pike-infested lakes of Minnesota's Boundary Waters. I have fi shed from the most expensive bass boats, the least expensive Jon boats, kayaks, and even in waders. What I had never done until last year, was fi sh the North Fork River in Arkansas. This trip triggered the inexperience I had with larger, fast fl owing, and unbelievably cold, rivers. Not only was I trying to catch trout, but at the same time I was trying to keep the small boat arranged to keep us in the correct position for fi shing, and for keeping us from being capsized by a hidden log, a low-lying tree limb, or just by an unexpected wave. Needless to say, for the fi rst few hours, fi shing was not on the top of my priority list. Staying alive and dry was. Most of my group was as inexperienced as me. Each boat operator had to learn quickly how to maneuver in order to have a safe and successful time. As for fi shing, the idea was to manage all the different paces of the environment we were in. To catch fi sh, we had to manage the fl ow of the river, the pace of the boat, and the retrieval speed of the lure we were using. Each of us had our diffi cult moments. These were not comfortable days on a placid lake. These were adventures in unknown and unexpected environments, that were capped with both success and failures. When the fi shing was over, we all came back to the cabin and ate together, shared our stories, competed in trash-talking cornhole competitions, and laughed a lot. Then we prepared to do it again the next day. One afternoon, I stayed at the cabin. I watched as each man adapted to the situations given him. Each one tailored his efforts according to the winds, waves, and currents of the unknown. And each one fi nished the day, tired. Some caught more fi sh than others, but all did their best. I imagined standing at the door of the place we call church. I imagined welcoming people who had spent a week adapting to more diffi cult situations with more important ramifi cations. And I imagined them needing a place to eat, rest, recover, fellowship, laugh, and be encouraged for the following day when they will face life once again. And I can't imagine anything more important for the church to do, than that.

Do you sometimes expect yourself to get it right every time? Does your expectation keep you from tak- ing a risk sometimes? From trying something new that you've never done before because you're afraid you won't get it right? I suppose we're all like that a little bit. Well, the next time you fi nd yourself paralyzed and can't try something new, say to yourself: Everyone misses the mark at some time. Need proof? Okay, do you remember Kevin Costner's movie, Waterworld? Probably not. Or if you do, you remem- ber it as a fl op. What about Tom Hanks in Joe and the Vol- cano? Even Wilson is glad to have missed that trip. And as beautiful as Jennifer Aniston is and as wonderful as she was in Bruce Almighty, did you see her in The Offi ce Space? If not, please don't. Even highly successful people swing and miss. But they keep on swinging and celebrate the times they hit the bulls- eye. And you can, too. Believe you can as you Live Positive and make a life worth living today. NO MORE ROBERT H. LUTZ Attorney At Law 704-600-6003 • 704-600-6004 www.rlutzlaw.com WE CAN HELP STOP FORECLOSURES!
