I had the wonderful privilege of participating in a shrimping expedition sponsored by IronMan Outdoors Ministry. You can check out their website at www.ironmanoutdoors.org. There were 11 guys from various places around the southeastern US who converged on Charleston Harbor and Bulls Bay for two days of outstanding shrimping. Other than catching almost a four boat limit on shrimp, we enjoyed God's creation and fellowship with one another. We shrimped the harbor on Friday night. Can I tell you how beautiful the full moon reflecting on the undulating waves of the harbor was? There was a steady breeze that kept the skitters at bay and we thoroughly enjoyed seeing the lights of the Battery in Charleston off in the distance. We shrimped Bulls Bay on Saturday and saw porpoises, shrimp, fish, thunderstorms in the distance and shrimp trawls in the sea. We had a wonderful trip.
The thing I like about IronMan Outdoors is this: They do what God made them to do and glorify God through out the whole process. These are men who love to hunt and enjoy the creation. I know a lot of guys who hunt and fish, but they never acknowledge God in the pursuit of game or outdoor recreation. These guys at IronMan are great at taking men into the adventure of wilderness and pointing them (not beating them up, mind you) toward God. Truly, I experienced an adventure (I nearly sunk a man's boat!!!!!!!) and I experienced God. What more could a guy want?
