Being on line has its drawbacks. One of them is SPAM. (Remember when that was a luncheon meat?) We recently changed our e-service because a new provider we began using couldn't effectively control the amount of junk mail cluttering our mailboxes.
However, one piece of SPAM arrived today and the subject caught my eye: Instant Fisherman.
I didn't click on the link, but read the sparse advertising copy about a portable fishing device.
Jesus told fishermen/disciples Peter, James and John they would be fishers of men. And so His disciples today are also fishers of men (and women and children).
When I read Instant Fisherman I immediately saw a parallel. When we use today's digital communications to share the good news of the Gospel, we are Instant Fisherman. A text message, Twitter post or e-mail arrive at their destinations almost instantly.
Right now it's far too cold for fishing–even ice fishing. But instant fishing is not climate dependent!

Welcome to The Intl. Lutheran Laymen's League of learning bloggers and commenters. I have learned recently that I too could start a blog for the Iowa District East Intl L L L. And I am learning the steps by blogging in a local newspaper, and a family website. Our site is .http://idelutheranlaymensleague.blogspot.com/ If there is any information you would like to pass along I would also allow material from other Lutheran
Hour ministries ventures etc.
