Zebedee

It's Sunday, y'all!
I found this old fisherman a couple of weeks ago at the Cortez Seafood Festival. He had worked his way through the crowd and had just sat down on a piling for a bit of bottled refreshment.

Had my mind on the story of Jesus' calling his first few disciples. Among them were a number of fishermen. I wondered what James and John's old fisherman dad might have looked like and what he might have done when his two sons dropped their nets and everything, and took off to follow that guy Jesus.

Watching something over his shoulder, maybe this old salt is giving us a modern day idea of what happened next. I'm sure James and John's papa watched this way, as his two sons disappeared from his sight down a dusty Galilee trail.

Soli Deo Gloria!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL AT AM3. I am out and probably away from the computer all this week. We are headed to north Georgia to spend Thanksgiving with our son and his wife and her family. I hope everyone who celebrates this holiday has a wonderful day, filled with turkey and gratitude for every blessing. And those who do not, I hope will remember to count their blessings and be thankful. Packing and getting the SUV all set for the drive today; we leave very early Tuesday morning and plan to return sometime Sunday.
