As I write several of my friends are ice fishing on Lake Simcoe. This lake is about twenty miles long and almost as wide. She is a Canadian beauty.
Somebody once said "Whoever invented ice-fishing must have had a lousy marriage" I can believe it.
What drives a man to endure sub-zero weather, to gaze down a dark hole hoping for a flirtatious fish to take his lure?
The ice on Lake Simcoe is nearly two feet thick; enough to hold up the heaviest truck. Considering this, it struck me that when God caused water to freeze He ensured that it froze from the TOP down not from the BOTTOM up. Had it been the other way round all the fish would have frozen in the first hard frost.
As it is they swim happily around, twenty fathoms below the feet of fishermen with frozen fingers, blue noses and frost bitten cheeks while their wives shop happily in the malls.
God who caused lakes to freeze from the top down may also have given women the edge in intelligence.
Ice fishing proves it
