Gone Fishin'

The author of A River Runs Through It wasn't the first person to compare fishing with religion. 

In today’s gospel reading, Jesus does the same thing when he invites Andrew and Peter and James and John to, “Follow me, and I will make you fish for people.”

This simple invitation began a remarkable transformation, not only in these four men, but in the entire world.

Because like cells dividing, these four soon became 12, and the 12 became hundreds, and the hundreds became thousands, and thousands became millions and billions.
