The Fish

I was driving past the canal today and just happened to look over just as a fish leaped out of the water.  Actually, rocketed is more like it.  He was probably a little over a foot long, and he shot straight out of the water at least three feet!  It was startling and thrilling at the same time.  I know we all see lots of fish and dolphins frolicking around because we are blessed to be surrounded by water, but it never fails to excite me.  Can you imagine what it's like?  You're swimming around under water when something in your little fishy brain tells you to leap after a bug, or shoot for the sun, or whatever, and then whoosh!!  Suddenly, you're airborne by 2 to 3 times your body length!  Wow.  The wonders of God's amazing natural world.  Today, I found Him in the thrilling moment when that little fish shot himself airborne.
