The One That Got Away?

Matt 4:19 “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.”
I don't pretend to be any better at this than anyone else. In fact, I think I spend most of my time cutting bait, -I work in the administrative side of missionary work.

I observed in the back trail of a forum thread, something like this: A fish swam into a certain part of the stream that we all felt pretty familiar with. This fish was looking for something. Instead of taking the oportunity to try to lure this fish in, someone began hitting the water surface with fishing poles saying "Bad fish, bad fish!" When somebody objected to this technique of hitting the surface of the water with fishig poles, we commensed on hitting each other with our poles. I'm sure the fish was very impressed with that. :roll:

I don't know if the fish was really interesting in nibbling any serious lures, however, I have to wonder how long before she will show interest again, if ever. I think she's made up her mind this is a crazy part of the river. She might nibble again at some lure; who knows maybe someday a Buddist lure or Wicca? Maybe after she's been beat around the rougher parts of the river for lets say 20 more years, she may even return to a similar part of the river.

I'm just wondering, Jesus was the master fisherman; I know it's a cliché, but WWJD?
