Gearing up for smallies simply means you are doing everything in your power to get the inside advantage on catching long dong small mouth bass. This is not limited to- buying OD rats, buying Baby FishEverything haters, buying split ring pliers from your local Walmart at 11 o’clock pm and or slapping so many slaps on your fishing vessel of choice that you nearly double it’s resale value.
church hurt is where you experience a degree of distance, pain, or judgement from your church community. Essentially, you are just unable to “find your place”. This is prevalent in the Christian community, but can be extended to other religions.
Now that I am an adult I am beginning to heal from the church hurt that was inflicted on me as a child.
