Slice of Bayou Life (Crabbing)

In this post I will be talking about crabbing if you don't know what that is you will, after you finish reading this post for starters lets look at the top three when it comes to crabbing.

The Captain is the person who by his,or her experience knows where to go,and Knows how to go about doing the work.

The Boat without it we'd be sunk, it keeps us afloat,and allows us to crab further than just

at the dock.

The Traps are to catch the crabs,although they've been known to catch more than just that; flounder, trout, turtles, otters, birds, stingrays, jellyfish, alligators etc...

My Dad(trust me he's in there somewhere), going to throw a few crabtraps.

Next stop is Jughead's seafood to buy bait for the traps.

                  Above is the usual bait we get, it has been pixelated

                           for the faint of heart,and weak of stomach.

                                     


After the traps are baited, It's time to head home,and get the boat ready for the next morning, starting with  loading crates and pans into the boat,and then getting a good nights rest.

                              Crate is on the left Pan on the right
                   Crates can hold more crabs,but Pans are more durable.


Now that we have our equipment it's time to introduce our crabbing gear.

          Shrimping boats also used for Crabbing, Oystering, and so on
          used to keep feet dry,and well insulated during the colder months.


          Below is one of our "Slicker Suits" which serves a similiar purpose

                             

            After we Catch the Crabs we have to sort them by size,and gender
            without the Crab Tongs it would mean picking them by hand
            which isn't always a fun experience.

             This little tool helps keep our hands from being damaged
             May God bless the man that invented it.

And now we have two crabs two show, the one on the left is clearly a female,and the one on the right
is clearly a male in size the male would be considered a number 2 which means that it's not as big as a number one, but it is to big to be consider a small, or factory crab. this one was in a fight before it was caught
as you can see it has lost a claw, which will grow back in time. One of the ways you can tell the difference between these two crabs is that the female has red tips on the claws,and the male has purple tips.

I can still remember after we finished running all our traps we would go to the bank, and just listen to the crabs sing, before we went home we would drop the crabs off, then make sure our boat was securely strapped to the truck,and then we were homeward bound.

Denomintations?why can't we all just be an agreement most of us read the same Bible.

I would like to talk about denominations We are called to be one body in Christ with all the divisions we have people who have sadly chosen

to be one body in something other than Christ,so instead of being Christian(meaning followers of Christ) they chose to lower the bar,and just choose to highlight certain aspects of the Christian faith.

even so called "Non"Denomination have seperation issues. here is a list of Christian based denominations,and cults, below you can clearly see how much
seperation has gone on. God's wants us to be one mind,and one accord so we as christians need
to unite,as a family instead of seperate military factions.



Not being in agreement isn't a good witness to non christians who look at us as dysfuntional
because we have one book,one life manual,and people put their own spin on it,and as result we
have so much confusion. these spins usually come from silly reasons.

 I heard of one felloweship that
was split in who, because half liked drum music,and the other half didn't,another way these spins happen is through people picking one verse from the Bible,and base their whole beliefs on that one verse which doesn't really work that well.

One example of this would be the Snake handlers
which I had to add to the list, who believe in handling snakes as part of their practice.
Now the numbers on the side indicate how many "divisions" of that division they have.

In closing I would like to encourage All my brothers and sisters in Christ
to Pronounce yourselves "nominated" chosen by God
Christ Followers(Christians)

And just avoid the politics of denominational debates.
which do not edify our brothers and sisters,but clouds the Gosple message of

Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
