Laurie’s Blog
I had the wonderful opportunity to attend church at the beach a few Sundays ago. After the pastor read the Gospel Lesson from John 21:1-14, he asked, “Where are you fishing?
He challenged us to be “fishers of men” wherever we may find God taking us this summer. He suggested the “best bait” for this is sharing our own stories. He challenged us to recall how God has been most real to us and be ready and willing to tell others. I encourage you to pray for opportunities this summer to “fish” and be ready share your best “fish story.”
Our children and grandchildren especially need to hear our “fish stories.” This month, our advertising partner Mark’s Outdoors is hosting “Take a Kid Fishing Day.” 100 kids will have the opportunity to receive a free rod and reel- with the catch that their parent/grandparent will take them fishing ASAP. Great incentive for us to do TWO types of fishing- a multi-taskers dream!
Happy Summer!
