LOL lonely..Have you ever tried reeling in a 250 pound soul.
And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
Matthew4:19
Yep lonely ppl. But no i have never fished for men. I wouldnt even know where to start or why id be fishing for them.
But fish only know to act on there there biological instints eat food& reproduce etc.
Men are not fish of course
Last yr in june i flew back to buffalo to see my stepdadwho been sick for a ( hadnt seen them in about 15 yrs)while- knew his time was coming i think - he mentioned about the fisher of men he met the -priest coming to his room - asking if he belived in Jesus- he said no i dont think so - the man says ok & left& that was that.( less time then it would take to catch a crappie) Now i would imagian that was his offical job for the hospital & why he was there.
I saw my step grama (98 yrs old )while there to( she was the one who rasied us) his mom(a family very lacking in religionby most ppls standards).
He looked like he was doing better when i left- making a comeback- beat the 1cancer - but also had advanced copd& other complacations.
In a few(3) mths he died & she followed soon after. Now they both ended up in hospice& " im sure that they helped in many ways& didhelp them both -just as the nurses did that i saw him with at home& in the hospital."
Now if any more fishers of men came around for either i dont know for sure... but i hope they tryed a little harder then that last man fishing did- even though i dont believe in fishing for men or understand the why.
The mate also talked to him awhile about his soul while there( longer then 1 min)- but i believe he was more then ready to die & be judged just as he was& had allways been.
(and you know already i basicly feel that same way even if my time is today)
Yep there s lonely ppl out there & worse. That should make then easy to catch?
But i dont see the how or wh- i see only the here& now .I can only see where you or i( or hospice & caring nurses etc also)can make there lives a little better before they die.
Not some maybe claim ofimortality in some maybe paradise talked of by fishers of men.
And in the end we will all find out for our selfs.
(sorry to be solong winded - & so serious( something i try to avoid- )
