Contrast Fishing

Compare and Contrast There are many ways to enjoy the gifts that God has given us. Simple things that we may take for granted every day, like the air we breathe, the sun on our skin, or the ocean that surrounds us. Growing up in Hawaii I have found a great appreciation for things like these, especially the ocean. Being surrounded by lots of water it seemed natural to explore the realms of the ocean and what it had to offer. Stereotypically, Hawaiians are known to surf.
