GONE FISHING

The Sea of Galilee is one of the most exciting places on earth. I went with 25 other pilgrims in 2006 where we sailed the sea on the Jesus Boat.

Thirteen miles long, 7 miles wide, and 150 feet deep at the center. The Sea of Galilee is bigger than I had pictured. And beautiful and calm on the day we were there.

It isn't or wasn't always so. It was on Galilee that the storm raged as Jesus slept. Where He spent 3 years of His ministry on its shores. Where He performed the miracle of the multiplication of fishes and loaves. And where Jesus appeared after His resurrection.

Where He appointed Peter a place of leadership in the church. Where Levi, Simon, Andrew, John and James, sons of Zebedee were called to discipleship.

Also, where the work of drawing men and women to the Savior began. Where we can continue to draw, to continue to be fishers of men. For the Man from Galilee.
