Glass-like water, a beautiful sunset, a soft breeze and my family near by.

As we caught many, many fish during our vacation in Northern Idaho last

week, I was reminded of Jesus' words : "I will make you fishers of men."

While the sun slipped down behind the tree-lined horizon, the fish were jumping

and splashing about.  They were hungry.  How many unsaved people do we encounter

in our lives during the course of a normal week who are hungry?   I know in my own life, the number

is more than a few.  The group might include neighbors, folks in line at the grocery store,  or an

employee at the library.  Mind you, cookies, pasta and Swiss ham steak is not what they are after.

Many of them are hungry, but they are searching, flitting about, doing whatever it takes to grab a

 hold of something to feed their souls.  You and I have the answer.  Let's take the gospel

message to the "ends of the earth" and to the end of our block if need be, so that we may be

fishers of men for Jesus sake.    He said to them, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men."

Matthew 5:19

Your words are so true. I am re-reading "Heaven" by Randy Alcorn, and the chapter about humanity's "default" destination--Hell--is quite convicting.
Did you take that picture? It is pretty.
I'm just now checking some comments, and in answer to your question about my "writing" day, Yes. I did get some writing done, but not as much as I would have liked. Thank you for asking.
Running Start is going well for my son, once he got through the first day or two. He goes to Green River and works at McD's. Does your daughter hold a job, too? Sure keeps them busy. I don't have my son do any homeschool work at home. He passed the WASL so I figure he's ready for college. LOL
(BTW--an insiders take on the WASL: I think it's a super test! I've administrated it and what I see is great thinking questions, nothing offensive to homeschoolers, and a great opportunity to see if our kids can whiz through a test that many of the districts are struggling with). :-)
My friend's DD and DS are going to Centralia CC. I went down there a couple weeks ago and did an author-thing for some homeschoolers. It was fun!
