Living for me and the Assassination attempt
It seems like not long ago I came to Leelanau searching I suppose. Searching for that inner man I so desperately desired to find. A time to seek God and what he has for my life. As I moved in to the area and got settled in the doors of blessing swung open. A house to buy at a great price, a descent job, food to eat and of course lots of beautiful weather and free time to explore this beautiful area called Leelanau. But what I found here was not what I imagined, what I hoped for. I must say I ate enough fresh caught fish to kill a man but some things were evident to me only recently.
I worked hard and never saved any money and acquired more debt
I NEVER shot a deer in the two years I lived up here
And I spent very little time exploring until my time was almost gone here
So what then I ask did I want. I FISHED ALOT, I HUNTED ALOT......But I wasn't happy. I really found out the core of me while I was away. It is these things......
God
Family
Friends
The rest of it doesnt matter..........
Leelanau attempted to assassinate me by taking away my joy within its wonder and beauty. But I will not lose the battle, I will conquer her threw visiting and dreaming about the place I love rather then suffocating myself with it...............
SOON TO COME, THE FINAL FAREWELL AND THE BEGINNING OF A NEW CHAPTER

First off, the only deer I've shot in the last two years in Barry County State Game area was a 51 pound fawn...No others! I too moved to the place I am at for the surroundings....I have struggled violently with my buckets of anger out on Gun Lake and caught 3 nice Walleye and a lot of Pike....Not nearly what I hoped for but none the less.
I have worked hard since I was 16 and only have a 12ft boat that leaks to show for it....I get to stay in this house as long as I pay but it is not mine!
There may be something to the concept of "working hard and saving money" that we have yet to master.....Don't feel bad about that.....All this is gonna burn some day anyway....Including all your debt...
I agree with your top three although I would add a fourth....sour mash whiskey....
FYI-this deer season is going to be a canvas wall tent in the overhunted Barry County State Game area....BROWN AND DOWN>>>
Don't be afraid of new chapters...I've done HUD HOUSES with bat poop kitchens, duplexes with trailers and bomb fires in the front yard, sleeping on unheated porches......AND MORE SHITTY CARS THAN I CAN LIST...
Hang in there...
Work hard
trust God

What a wonderful priviledge. You had to see what there was for you. It wasn't wasted and you are better for the experience.
God was with you and led you to where you are now.
Yep, God is in control of your life.
I think you and your two siblings need to brain storm and come up with an idea for a book. I think you are all excellent writers and there has to be something you can pull together. Just a weird thought.
Where are you heading?
Updates?
Do you have another blog or something i am missing, because if you do, i would like to know the address to it!
