We, the wife and I, occasionally go to Chitna to dip net. That is what we did this July 4th weekend. My wife owns a house in the Kenny Lake area and we use that house when we go down there, from Fairbanks. My wife spent her last 2 years of high school there and her mom lived there until around 2010. The wife still knows a number of people in that area.
This morning, as we were preparing to head back to FBKS, I suggested we go to church there in Kenny Lake. I'm not all that religious but I was hoping that Ada Wilson would be there. Dean and Ada are part of some of the best times of my life and seeing her brings back those times. (Dean was a fur buyer back in my early alaska trapping days).
We got to the church just a few minutes late. Ada wasn't there but several other people my wife knows were and we stayed for the whole sermon, singing, etc. The main sermon was giving by someone I have never met, but we all know him from his posts here on Tman. His sermon was the AMAZING time. I'm not going to go into detail but it really effected me. I don't know why. Maybe because he is a fellow Alaskan trapper. Anyway, his sermon today was about a current topic but it was all underlayed with biblical references. It was almost like a lawyer laying out his case with the evidence being in the bible. I honestly believe that being a trapper, thinking like a trapper, helped this man compose this sermon. I made sure to introduce myself to this man when church was over.
Most of you wouldn't recognize the preacher by his birth name. We all know him as Wolverine Bait. His sermon wasn't finished this day. It will continue next Sunday. It can be seen by Zoom, but I don't know yet exactly how to do that.
The only downside to this day is now I feel the need to hear a sermon by Mark June..............and he's way down in Texas!!
