Life's Short: Fish Hard
Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men. (Mark 1:17)
I'm not the buy-the-latest-bass-boat, get-out-every-weekend kind of guy, but I enjoy fishing for walleyes at a nearby dam in the summer or catching perch through the ice on one of Michigan's many lakes in winter.... So I was hooked when I saw this bumper sticker on the back of an old pickup truck: Life's Short: Fish Hard.
I chuckled but the more I thought about it the more I was caught by this idea: As a follower of Jesus Christ, I am a "fisher of men." I have been commanded by the Lord Jesus to proclaim the gospel message (Matthew 28:19-20), to tell others about the wonderful, saving love of God for all people.
