Summer Decisions
by Mike Gerry
As we progress into the summertime patterns, bass fishing becomes more complex and hence, there are many more decisions you need to make to have successful trips during the heat of the summer. Decisions that you make will generally guide you through the day – it will be good or not so good.

Importance of Your Support System
by Teresia Smith
When we think of building a good life, the first thing that comes to mind is the other people involved. The people we surround ourselves with are the biggest influencers of our behavior, attitudes and outcomes. Who you choose to be around can set the course of your life. What they think, say and do becomes what you think, say and do.

God is Holy
by Audrey Christensen
What does it mean when we say something is holy? Maybe we mean “good,” but even that word has become distorted. (I think chocolate chip cookies are good.) There are other aspects of holiness that we should consider: awe, fear, purity, righteousness, perfection, set-apartness. After all of the characteristics of God that we’ve looked at the past several weeks, the natural conclusion must be that God is holy. After all, He created and sustains all things; He is all-powerful, all-knowing, all-present, all-wise.

Summer big baits

As we slowly move on with summer, it can be a time of year where size matters. At no time during the fishing year is the size of your bait more important than now. The difference is that most people go with small baits in the summer; however, if you’re wanting to catch big quality bass, fish with big baits like 7-inch swim baits, 3/4 oz. jigs with large trailers that give the jig a bulky look, 3/4 to 1 oz. spinner baits with large willow leaf blades. Defy the norm and work with size to achieve size in your catch.

Secondary victims
by Teresia Smith
At Crisis Services of North Alabama, we talk a lot about people who have experienced traumatic events such as sexual assault and domestic violence, as we should, because they need our attention. Today, I want to ask, what about the secondary victims — the friends, family, and loved ones — of the survivor? What can we do to help them as they cope with the difficulties of trying to help their loved one cope with a painful event?
