If I Had a Flux Capacitor.................

and it allowed me the ability to travel back
to anytime before this Day,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,then

it would be to join the fishermen of Galilee.
you know Peter, John, Matthew, et al?

ya because not only did they catch tons of fish,

how's 'bout the time after The Resurrection when
they go back to their fishing villages,
with the weight of the WORLD on their minds,
the whole of their FAITH in limbo and disarray,

and they are getting ROYALY skunked,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,then,,,,,,,,,,,,

lo and behold, comes the Resurrected Spirit of the Lord to fill
their nets, restore their faith, and to lift their weary burdens!!
of course, they then would become fishers of men, keepers
of The Gospel, witnesses to The Empty Tomb, and bearers of The Cross.

YUP, that's the era that i REALLY would have LOVED to have been a fisherman in!!!

with no need to return to Today, no need of modern gear vs a fish of that time, and
of course me bride and me daughter would have to go with me,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,those miraculous times and
breaking bread with The Son of God would have been amazing beyond my understanding and what a Life
they must've had walking with Our Lord and Savior!!!

that faithfilled day when HE says, "Peter cast your nets on the other side of your boat........."
that lode had to be THE catch of ALL Catches.

how can one fogedda 'bout the 5 fish that fed 5,000+ people at the Sermon on the Mount?
those five fish had to be THE large of ALL Lahhhhges

and in ways too numerous to mention here,
although their fishing was prolific and bountiful,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

the fishing ITSELF pales by comparison to the times they were an integral part of
and to the History that their lives etched upon our peoples~~ as these men truly were,
in my humble opinion, the most important fishermen of ALL time.

"The first condition of happiness is that the connection
between man and nature shall not be broken."~~ Leo Tolstoy

Tight Lines, and
Happy Hunting to ALL!
