Fishing for Men and Women

Matthew 4:19

“Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.”

I have a number of friends who love to fish. I never really got into fishing. I have a bad case of motion sickness – but wouldn’t mind sitting on a shoreline somewhere on a lazy summer day with a line in the water. My friends post pictures of some of their favorite fishing holes on social media. They really enjoy fishing. It must be very exciting and relaxing to them. I might have to try it sometime – if retirement ever gets here.

A friend of mine – from a former church – is really into fishing. He often posts pictures of fish he has caught on social media. He gets some big ones. He and another friend go deep water fishing at times. My friend’s youngest son has taken an interest in fishing as well and they are often together at their favorite fishing hole – as seen on his social media page! He brought a dozen or more rods to church one Sunday for a prop for a sermon series titled Gone Fishing or something like that. I miss this friend dearly! We both play golf and need to do more of it together.

One of my golfing buddies bought a nice boat in the not too distant past (my wife just bought one too – so – maybe – I’ll be out on it – can someone pass the Dramamine please?) My fear was that he would be going fishing a lot and we would not be golfing much anymore. This past summer we ended up not playing much golf together – not because he was fishing – but because of my schedule (I didn’t get to retire as planned). He says he doesn’t have time for those of us still working full-time (LOL). Maybe this summer we can play some more.
