Fishing Texas-Style in the Florida Keys
Fishing Texas-Style in the Florida Keys
My wife, Beth, and I, after retiring as pastor from Cowboys for Jesus Church at Canyon Lake, have been living the dream for a month of fishing in the Florida Keys. We rented a cottage on Little Torch Key about 25 miles north of Key West and 20 miles south of Marathon. For a fisherman this is heaven-water everywhere. Plus I brought my boat. 03/19/2023 05:00 AM
Learning from the shoe of a runner
Learning from the shoe of a runner
I was talking with some friends this week about some of the different kinds of books that they have read and enjoyed. Some were fiction and easy reading and others were factual accounts of events or people that are part of history. There were also some that were more on the scientific end of things. It was an interesting conversation. It made me think of the different forms of reading. A trail guide can read tracks of animals. There are people that can read impressions on the surface and determine that the various indentations and grooves were made by some traveler many decades ago. One story relates that the width of railroad tracks were made centuries ago by ancient Roman chariot wheels that were determined by the width of foot imprints of two horses side by side pulling the chariot. Then there are palm readers that can determine your life span and love life from the different creases and folds in the palm of your hand. The one type of reading that I do not see as often is the ability to read a running shoe. It is amazing what the shoe of a runner tells you about his or her running form. 03/19/2023 05:00 AM

Physical activity is an important component of overall health.
