fish, fishers, fishing

fishing 
is one theme 
in the christian tradition 

fishers 
of people 
we are called to be

fishing 
has never been 
something i 
enjoy

fish 
in aquariums 
and art...
i enjoy 

fishing 
for people
is a complicated notion 
for a number of reasons

fishing implies 
catching
and some of the 
tactics of catching people 
have 
in my opinion and experience 
not been 
pleasant

fishing 
can be smelly
the fish kind of fishing 
and the people kind too

fisher...
be a fisher
is at the root of my calling
to ministry

fishing 
can be complicated

fish on a whole
don't want to be caught

fish 
fisher
fishing
i am all three
which 
in the long run has helped me 
in this ministry stuff
for as a fish 
i don't ever forget what it is like
when faced with the 
prospect of being caught

fish on the whole 
don't like to be caught
so...
i've been re-thinking 
fishing
and fish 
in the christian 
context

fishing 
provides a lot of time 
for thinking 
that's for sure...
and that is what i do

fishers of people
i'm thinking 
is not about 
hooks 
and nets
and bait
so drop these things
and what is left?

fishing...
what do you think?
