My heart goes out to Joseph’s family. I remember those fishing days at the ranch and Joe taught me the art of fishing and the patience that comes with it. He even pulled me out of the water after I slid in…I seemed to have gotten so enthusiastic about catching a big trout that I slid right down into the cold water. I think I could not have been more than 10 and could not swim. Unfortunately the trout got away but Joe did not let me get away and pulled me out…I decided to take swimming lessons that summer. Thanks for keeping me safe and I know God is keeping you safe at his side…I think God is teaching you how to fish for lost souls.
