22:6 Youth Fishing Deep Sea Adventures_the Real Big Fish —– Go much deeper than 600 feet.
Premier-H&M Landing, June 19

Homemade Chorizo Burritos & Cookies and fishing; Only thing that tops it, is enjoying them with our Fishin’ Family, Big hugs, jokes, and new Fishin’ Buddies! To be together again, truly awesome!

Sharing God’s word as it speaks to us in Proverbs —16:3 (God gives us talents, smarts, passion, other great gifts; We ask and acknowledge Him, and His way for our plans, and they will succeed. Sometimes, better than we hoped for; Like double hook-ups of Red Fish!!), 13:20 (Walk with folks we learn from, who inspire us, have our best interest, encourage character, support our hopes and dreams. Kind of like hangin’ with your Fishin’ uncles, learning how to reel in big Rock Fish and good times.), 3:3,4 (“Love and Faithfulness”, values our parents/folks who care about us, instill in us; Live these two always so that your name is good in God's sight and fishing mates who want to share in that joy.)— and lifting prayers on high readies us for a bicep-pumping, heart-pounding adventure that goes much deeper than 600 feet. Thank you, Jesus!

22:6 Youth Fishing Deep Sea Adventures_the Real Big Fish – Overcast, but overjoyed.
Premier-H&M Landing, May 20

Hallelujah! Our Fishin’ Family is back with us once again! Fishin’ Buddies not so little anymore, and a couple of new-old Fishin’ Buddies come with hugs, smiles, and an ice chest for the bounty they’ll bring home. (Ha, ha... Now that’s faith!)

Sharing God’s word as it speaks to our hearts –in Psalm 37:1-8 (Don’t try to keep up with, nor let the world run your life. Rather, trust God, walk in his ways, find joy in his glory; Like bringing hope to over 300 Fishin’ Buddies and their families!), in Luke 14:11 (Listen and learn from others, be open to new things; Like first-time fishing, discovering & rewarding your inner fisherman with catches of big reds and rockfish!), in John 3:16 (Nothing can separate us from greatest love of all if we truly believe, in Him!)– and lifting prayers on high set us up for a wonderful deep-sea adventure; Overcast, but overjoyed. Thank you, Jesus!

22:6 Youth Fishing Deep Sea Adventures_
"the Real Big Fish –Thumb on the spool. And a watchful eye."
Premier-H&M Landing, April 15

Hugs and how do you do’s, prayers to our Father in heaven, and a big thumbs up, readies us for adventure on the sea. A sunshiny spring afternoon; Burgers, jokes & laughs bring old & new friends together, comforting the spirit as we sail against salty breezes and ocean sprays.

A wise fisherman shares about how to fish the deep, guiding fishing buddies on honing their fishing skills, and to learn something new. “Keep your thumb on the spool and a watchful eye on your rod tip”, when it bows down you whoop it up! Reel ‘em in, small ones and big ones, they’ll all become huge when you tell of your fishing adventure to others.

Thank you Jesus, to bring us together in your name, and hook up on the real big fish that is you. Amen.

Thank you, Premier-H&M Landing

May Gray may make for a cozy stay-at-home cartoon watching Saturday morning for some, but it could not keep rays of sunshine who are the 22:6 Youth Fishing Buddies from coming out and warming up our little bayside fishing oasis. Cheerful fishing aunties and uncles, along with a hungry Bat ray, who early on got a little to curious with uncle Michaels’ baited rod, was there to greet them as they arrived.

Fishin’ buddy “the Leopard Shark that got away” James, arrives with unfinished business on his mind, and gets the day started catching a nice sized Perch! Having reminisced about fishing in her early years (now, age 4 going on 5) with 226YF, Reziah came back to us determined to catch a fish and put a notch on her rod. Evee, once and for all squashed any doubts uncle Barry had, [”the Kid’s got game”] about her fishing skills. New Kid on the Beach, Kendi, would begin his fishing experience learning from long-time fishin’ buddy great, and new fishing uncle, “Lucky” Ryan from San Clemente, CA, who brought the love with big hugs for his fishin’ family; shared several seasons of fishing tips with new fishin’ buddies, and reeled in a Bonefish! “I have one thing to say:”—Mr. Entertainment— Trent, let his Fishin’ Family know how much he loves them by singing an oldies classic, “Never Gonna Give You Up”; with Head bob and all. (Talk about your rays of sunshine.)

Whether missing a favorite cartoon; having to travel a long road; anxious about doing something new; taking care of unfinished business, our fishin’ buddies heard the call and moved on it, faithfully, and received joy. Kind of like Abraham and Isaac, as Auntie Charity and her cast of characters showed us through our Bible lesson, in God’s Word (Genesis 22) where Abraham, who knew and trusted God, did what God asked of him; which was to go and sacrifice his one and only son, Isaac, to Him [God]. Even after the gathering of wood and fire for the alter, Isaac, not realizing he was to be the sacrifice, asked his father Abraham, “what is to be sacrificed?” Abraham faithfully answered, “God will provide.” And God did. He provided a ram in a nearby bush, to be sacrificed. And because of Abraham’s faithfulness God called him friend, and blessed him as father of many nations to come.

Sometimes we may be called upon to do things that may be hard for us to understand, or even want to do, but if we know God, and trust Him and His heart with all of our heart, and act in faith, God will always provide and make a way for us. That is His promise. That is His glory. And only what is good for us will ever come from our Father who loves us so much, our joy. Amen!

We didn’t catch many fish. (So sorry Reziah... We’ll get ‘em next time!) But, together we sure did reel in “The Real Big Fish”...Thank you, Jesus!

Sharks, Rays, Mango Chicken and Watermelon smiles, oh my goodness can it get any better than this? Yep! Sharing in all the joy with a few prodigal old school fishin’ buddies! A few “new-old fishin’ buddies”! And with JESUS!!! Whom we are so thankful and grateful to fellowship with the Holy spirit and experience heaven on earth at our little fishing oasis, together.

Thank you Jesus, everything is so much better with you. Even a very low tide, for some fishermen spells bad news, however for our/your fishin’ buddies it provided a sandy grid-iron with extra yardage for long-bomb football throws, to warm up their casting arms and wrists; To stretch out those fish catching muscles, and to make ready quick feet for sprints to bit lines & bending rods. Even the fishing aunties were slinging the rock for a few deep 30 yarders —they’ll be ready for next year’s NFL Draft—maybe.

The Rays and a Sand Shark didn’t disappoint. Nor did (what seemed like 20 minute a battle) a big Leopard Shark, who brought our fishin’ family by young Jame’s side to cheer him on as the fish took him side-to-side, out and all around, while he reeled down on him. Finally, close to the shore everyone could see the “Big One”. But, we would quickly discover that the God of Miracles answers fish’s prayers too. And with one more crank, Mr. Leopard Shark was gone...

No worries though. The excitement, the joy of it all—together we all reeled in the “Real Big Fish”— which brought us to Auntie Charity who would take us to God’s word in “Job 5:8,9” where we learned what a miracle is; Who they come from, and shared personal testimony of a miracle we have experienced in our own lives.

Everything is so much better with you Jesus. It is why we praise you, and thank you that you are with us, and for us. Always. It is why we pray. It’s why we give it all to you. It is why together, we say Amen.

Prodigal old school fishin’ buddy Austin crowned our time together with one more shark catch! That’s just how we do it.

Bonefish, Perch, Bass, double-ups on Sting Rays!! Only thing not caught was a batch of Chicken Nuggets; eh James?! Perhaps next time we try dressing up the baits with a couple of our favorite dipping sauces and see if we can’t reel in some of those tasty treats! Speaking of which, how ‘bout that cool, sweet watermelon Aubrey? Good stuff...right?!

Who knew what this day would bring you?

Breaking Saturday morning routines to try something new, like casting rods and swimbaits, honing skills to become Fishing Ninjas. Singing Happy Birthday to a fishin’ auntie (Sonia) whom you never new you had! Hooking up once again with new and longtime fishin’ buddies! Sprinting up an down a sandy gridiron to catch long bomb football passes from your QB1, Mom! Taking in some rays (Stingrays that is.) alongside sister, and brother! Hanging with Dad as you both work at untangling fishingline-birdsnests, or putting slimy squid bait on a hook —you know, Dad stuff! (Hey now, Grandma and Mom stuff too! Okay, we see you. Ha, ha!). Getting up close & personal with smooth and scaly ocean wonders after reeling them in! Sharing about Jesus with others, and even accepting Him to come live in your heart!

We came as we were. Not knowing, but trusting our fellowship with Jesus would bring a surprising and welcome array of events that would help us. It couldn’t be explained, but we know it was God, and His miracle of joy, in and all around us.

Our Bible lesson, “The Faith of the Centurion”, Havanna (acting as Jesus), and AJ (as the Centurion), wonderfully demonstrated how the Centurion’s faith in Jesus, led him to go to the city Capernaum, believing wholeheartedly in Jesus’s power (love) that even Jesus just by saying the word, his very sick & near-death servant would be healed. Elated by the Centurion’s faith, Jesus told him... “Go! Let it be done just as you believed it would.” His servant was healed.

Jesus’s love saves even today, as Uncle Barry shared: Our Fishing Family prayed believing a bone marrow match to help a young Fishin’ Buddy fight cancer, was out there. A donor match arrived from oversees. Our Fishin’ Buddy is strong now, and of course back to Fishing! Also: A 4 year-old girl grocery shopping with mom, noticed a sad older gentlemen shopper and asked: “Can I give you a hug?” Mourning the loss of his beloved wife of many years, that hug brought joy to his heart. The little girl & mom now visit the smiling gentleman for tea parties. The Holy Spirit prays for us, and Jesus saves. He is mighty that way!

Who knew what this day would bring you? (The God of Miracles —Jesus!)

It’s winter here in San Diego —70° & sunny; Beautiful clear blue skies, with gentle sea breezes making calm bayside waters shimmer, tides roll in rhythmic cadences that crescendo at the shoreline edge of a little “Fishing Fun and Bible Lessons” oasis that has been deserted for almost two years...

No whipping sound of casting rods. No jingling of bells on rod tips as big-lipped wonders bite on tempting baits and lures. No shout outs of, Fish On! and the pitter-patter of little feet and big feet pounding on the sand as they rip & run to grab hold of the “big ones” and the “little ones” to reel them in. No praises of joy lifted high, nor fellowship in God’s Word and praying together as Fishin’ Family.

However, during this quiet time, through all of our prayers, our hope, and our faith;“Our Father who art in Heaven” heard us, and answered with “His Yes and Amen”. He made a way that enabled us, 22:6 Youth Fishing Ministry, to come together, to be together, and rejoice with Him (who is “God of Miracles”) on Opening Day of our new season of Fishing Fun and Bible Lessons —Jesus!

O how we are loved, blessed, jubilant in spirit to once again hear the whipping sounds of casting rods and shouts of Fish On! To have little feet and big feet race to set hooks and crank down on the big ones, well, little ones that fight like big ones! To meet new old friends for the first time while learning new things! To applaud and praise God with our gratefulness that we are together in fellowship! To learn and trust, Jesus can, and will, make miracles out of our burdens!

Along with the gentle sea breezes, a fresh heaven sent wind (The Holy Spirit) blew through Uncle Michael and delivered the message, “God’s word is our foundation” and shared that “respect”, “faith”, “trust”, “wisdom”, “truth” leads us to God and helps make us to be more like Him, and “lead” by example. Should we fall, Jesus’s love saves us —He is all ways with us. Always for us. The Holy Spirit passed that promise through Auntie Charity and her voice expressed it to our Fishin’ Buddies, which four of them accepted Jesus to come live in their hearts!!!!

The Holy Spirit also blessed young Molly with a fire and a desire to lift up our Fishin’ Family in prayer and give thanks to Father God for our time together, fishing and fun, great tasting watermelon, and snacks “good food”—Amen.

We are so grateful to be back together again at our little fishing oasis, even if it is in the middle of a San Diego winter... Thank you Jesus!

Sunshine beaming through silver linings about the sky; Blue-green swells lazily rolling all around; Dolphins and Gulls tag-teaming on schools of bait fish; Grey Whales crashing the ocean horizon, and Sea Lions circling our boat in a game of cops & robbers with fishing mates, as we all try to reel in catches of big lipped wiggly-wonders.

Yep, the “Gone Fishin’” sign is up, and any troubles, far behind us. We are excited for our afternoon fishing adventure to come.

Uncle Pasquale, would prepare our minds for the journey with a couple riddles; (“I contain versus but I’m not a song”... “I contain books but I’m not a library”...What am I?) in which, sharp as tacks, the Fishin’ Buddies answered, the Bible!

And in the Bible, together, is where we witness God’s truth and came into agreement of the Greatest Miracle—Jesus who was without sin, died for us & our sins on the cross, and “He Rose From the Grave” [as Mary, Peter and John witnessed and testified of Jesus’s empty tomb] so that we who believe in the love of Jesus shall be saved from sin, and be with Him forever!”

Grateful for the Greatest Miracle, we prayed this prayer together and rested in his peace throughout our fellowship:

Dear God. Thank you for Jesus. Through His death, you showed us that you take sin seriously and that you love us so much – because He came to die in our place. There is no other love like this... We cannot understand his love, and we cannot pay you back for it, but we can accept it and love you in return. Help us do that today and for the rest of our lives. Amen!

And with fishing rods in hand, gear and bait at the ready we got on our way out to sea.

After several rounds of, are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? When are we going to fish? (A few of those rounds coming from the Fishin’ Uncles, ha...ha...) the Fishin’ Buddies would soon find themselves enjoying their fishing adventure, catching a dozen or more fish each which included: White Fish, Rock Fish, Mackerel, and a few Red Fish!

For a couple of the Fishin’ Buddies, this was their first time they have ever been on a Fishing adventure such as this. And thanks to some great instruction by the crew, the Fishin’ Buddies patience and persistence. And oh yes, Bacon Burritos from the galley, to help keep the energy levels up—they hooked up and are hooked!

Ling Cod were biting, and a couple big ones were caught. We tried to get in on that action, but as our time was winding down, and a couple sea dogs (Sea Lions) putting the bite on a couple of our big bites! We’ll just have to get at them next time — unfinished business, no doubt.

With full bags of filets each to take home, there’ll be plenty of fish tales to be served up at the dinner table too. Fishin’ Buddy Josiah would bring us together to pray and give thanks to the God of Miracles, for our day’s fellowship together...Jesus!!!

Winter like conditions, couldn’t keep our fishin’ buddies from braving the elements and enjoying an early morning fishing adventure. Bundled up tight and rain-slickers at the ready; filled up on Mary’s galley Bacon-Burritos, French Toast, goodies and Hot Chocolate, we would be ready to get after some fishing fun! But first our adventure would start by answering this riddle:

A surprising and welcome event that is not explainable naturally or scientifically, but rather considered the work of God. (What am I?)

Baffled at first, perhaps not fully awake as even dawn is barely beginning to show itself, the fishin’ buddies would unravel the mystery and discover the answer is, a “Miracle”. And, the power of Just Believing in Jesus, the son of the God of Miracles.

Through God’s word in the story of, “The Faith of the Centurion”; we learned, after hearing of all the great miracles Jesus blessed God’s people with, a Roman officer found himself humbly at Jesus’s feet with a heavy heart for the sake of his beloved servant who was dying. He asked Jesus to save him. And because of the centurion’s stature in the roman community and feeling not worthy to have Jesus come to his home, he believed in Jesus power so much so, that he asked Jesus to just say the word and his servant would be healed. Amazed at his faith, Jesus said to the centurion, “ Go! Let it be done just as you believed it would.” And his servant was healed at that moment.

As we enjoy our fishing adventure together, we would thank God for the miracles in our lives, and remember to give our hearts to Jesus, no matter the circumstance so the God of Miracles may bless us.

Dolphins rode the wakes alongside us as we made our way, way south—the Coronado Islands grew bigger and bigger as we motored ahead through sea swells crashing over the bow, Gorton’s Fisherman style, which kept the fishin’ buddies excited for their adventure. And, not to mention a little wet too, making their journey all the better!

Captain Brandon set us up over rockpiles 90 feet below us, and it wasn’t long before fishing mates started in on catching a few Perch, a couple nice Sand Bass and Calicos. And, a few Whitefish, and Sculpin which were released as they are not in season yet.

Soon, a big squall brought wind, heavy rain and ocean white caps—although awesome, it made for some tough conditions. For a time there, the Coronado Islands were starting to remind us of Gilligan’s Island and the “Three Hour Tour” the S.S. Minnow it’s crew and passengers took—Google it... ha, ha!

We moved over several spots jostling for boat positioning throughout the morning. However, the fishin’ buddies battled, José even led us in a prayer to catch fish, through it all. Mia, Jacob and Angel managed to get in some Saturday morning cartoons together down in the galley during the mini-storm before returning to the rail with Dominic and the rest of us to catch the sight of a beautiful rainbow and reel in a few more perch. No doubt an adventure we’d not soon forget.

Some bait fish pranks and playfulness brought laughs, and rays of sunshine peering through clouds dried us out and warmed us up, keeping our fellowship joyous as we headed back to port. And speaking of joyous, Captain Brandon and the crew were just awesome in ensuring all the fishing mates had an enjoyable experience even in the tough conditions, so much so, the Fishin’ Buddies were eager to shake captain Brandon’s hand and thank him and his crew for all they did.

At the dock, as we came together to end this adventure, it was fitting the God of Miracles would call one of His angels to lead us in lifting our praise and thanks to Him, Our Father Who Art in Heaven, for our Fishin’ Family time together. Bless you Fishin’ Buddy, Angel, for answering His call.

Jesus!!!
