After a few minutes I decided to remove my pants and put my shoes back on for the 500' waste deep walk back to dry land..... then I wiped as much water off as I could, put my pants back on and squeezed what I could from my boots... THEN I got to walk about 5 miles home in deep snow.... NOT fun. Thankfully I was in my late teens or early 20's then ..... I'm not certain I'd make it as easily now.
I stumbled several times but had I fallen and got my coat and pants wet I doubt I would have survived the walk back...... Looking back....ummmm... yeah that whole snowmobile over water that far from help by myself in that cold of weather..... not my brightest moment.

Yep... that one was a definite candidate for an honorable mention in the Darwin Awards.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
