fishing




Sunday morning fishing on the Hopkins River... Not much success yet, but the guys are hoping to catch dinner one of these days.  For some reason, I am always craving fish.  Not unusual, since this was my main source of protein back home.  I have been playing it cheap with sardines, tuna, and pre-prepped salmon, but long for the taste of a fresh catch; fulfilling and sustainable.  The buzzing guilt of purchasing commercial seafood is growing louder...  I will need to take a closer look at the frozen fish section and read some labels.






I may also need to invest in a fishing pole...





Fishing on the Hopkins River:



Ezekiel 47:6-12

He asked me, "Son of man, do you see this?"  Then he led me back to the bank of the river.  When I arrived there, I saw a great number of trees on each side of the river.  

He said to me, "This water flows toward the eastern region and goes down into the Arabah, where it enters the Dead Sea.  When it empties into the sea, the salty water there becomes fresh.  Swarms of living creatures will live wherever the river flows.  There will be large numbers of fish, because this water flows there and makes the salt water fresh; so where the river flows everything will live.  Fishermen will stand along the shore; from En Gedi to En Eglaim there will be places for spreading nets.  The fish will be of many kinds -- like the fish of the Mediterranean Sea.  But the swamps and marshes will not becomes fresh; they will be left for salt.  Fruit trees of all kinds will grow on both banks of the river.  Their leaves will not wither, nor will their fruit fail.  Every month they will bear fruit, because the water from the sanctuary flows to them.  Their fruit will serve for food and their leaves for healing."
