well those other so called life choices IE... vegetarianism, Buddhism, gay, terrorism, uni bomber...(I could go on and on and on but i won't) well they all pale in comparison to the Life choice...the alternate life style.. Nay i even say the Christ likeness that is Fishing!!
What other activity in the whole wide world dose the Greatest man that ever walked the earth endorse? What other Biblical occupation did the majority of the first, first Quorum of the twelve take part in before their calling to the only other more important of Gods works here on earth?(see Matthew 4:18-22 )
If you are a bible scholar or even a half illiterate in breeder from the deep south, you probably know that the bible references the Christlike attribute of fishing many many times, which makes it a heavenly activity!
So on to why it is a life choice. As in reference to my earlier, and may I say brilliant observation and comparison to ...well lets here it from the source Matthew 4:19 "And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men."
So you are asking yourself "why is he going biblical on this fishing thing?" I'll tell you why!! To show you the importance, dedication and sheer intestinal fortitude that one must exhibit to even think about this type of life choice..I mean how many people are willing to get up at the butt crack of dawn only to sit on the side of a river or lake or any large mass of water waiting, willing , wanting nay i even say wishing for the "BIG ONE" to strike? .......I say not many.....that is why this "Fishing" is a life choice and not a past time..
I've herd it said how to determine if a fisherman is lying or not? the fisherman is talking!!
Also a wise old fisherman told me why fish rise and jump.....they don't have middle fingers...
And in conclusion I would like to remind all of that person who might glance at my rants..."It's my world and the sky is blue!" so goodbye for now.
