FISH

Snippet

To go fishing is the chance to wash one’s soul with pure air, with the rush of the brook, or with the shimmer of sun on blue water. It brings meekness and inspiration from the decency of nature, charity toward tackle-makers, patience toward fish, a mockery of profits and egos, a quieting of hate, a rejoicing that you do not have to decide a darned thing until next week. And it is discipline in the equality of men – for all men are equal before fish. ~ Herbert Hoover

Scripture

He called out to them, “Friends, haven’t you any fish?”

“No,” they answered.

 He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.

Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” As soon as Simon Peter heard him say, “It is the Lord,” he wrapped his outer garment around him (for he had taken it off) and jumped into the water. John 21:5-7

Brother it’s a long road, from Amistad to Toho,

Doesn’t matter which way you go, the miles are all the same.

When you finally get there, and when you pul the cover off,

Then it’s time to get a little bit lost, out on the lake.

Gonna back this boat into the water,

Find a way to win a couple dollars,

The weather man says there’s a cold front coming down,

Bring it on, I’ve seen it all by now.

I can catch ‘em shallow, I can catch ‘em deep,

Open water or the back of a creek,

The wind, the rain, to me it’s all the same,

I make a living playing this game,

I thank the Lord above every time I can,

I get to be a fisherman.

Come Thursday morning, I’ll have me something figured out,

It’s not definite but just about, that I can make the cut,

I’m bettin’ on Sunday, that I’ll be fishing solo,

Just me and my cameraman Joe, And with a little bit of luck I’ll have just enough.

I can catch ‘em shallow, I can catch ‘em deep,

Open water or the back of a creek,

The wind, the rain, to me it’s all the same,

I make a living playing this game,

I thank the Lord above every time I can,

I get to be a fisherman.

Sentence Prayer

Lord help me to catch

a fish so large

that even I in the tell of it

never need to lie...
