Gone Fishing

Today I went fishing with my second cousin, Karl and his wife, Diane in Byron, Minnesota. It was great to get the fishing pole out and cast the line into the water... wait for that little bobber to get dunked under and tug on the line, reeling in a little sunfish or crappie fish.

Karl and Diane have done alot more fishing that I have or maybe ever will do, and that's what was fun about it, too - they love to fish! They don't need to be reeling in a big halibut in Alaska... nope, just fishing in the reservoir for little fish was fun for them, too.

I caught 5 little fish in all... nothing even big enough to eat. But it was fun to stand next to the water and remember that fishing takes patience.

This is a good lesson for all of us... and no surprise that Jesus recruited fishermen to become fishers of men. It takes patience. Not a very common commodity in this day and age.

Thanks, Karl and Diane, for reminding me of the fun and the fruitfulness of patience in fishing.

By the way, Honey went fishing with us, too... and he learned a thing or two as well! Honey likes fishing!

Blessings,
