lo! and behold!
the now infamous four fisherman
their tale once again told
tending their nets
one bright, crisp, early morn
business as usual
in a boat since near the day they were born.
but change hung thick in the air
this is the calling of the first pair
the son of man came to call
“i will make you fishers of men
if you will leave this all.”
at once they dropped their nets
and followed this rabbi true
two brothers were they
named simon and andrew
the first pair to become
disciples of the chosen one
a little further on
they came to the second pair
james and his brother john
preparing their nets
when the son of man came
they left all with their father
and became disciples the same
some say this calling--be dream, be myth
but ne’retheless, those four fishermen followed forthwith

this week we are looking at the calling of the first disciples...mark 1:16-20
how does their calling match our own? how is it different? what does it look like to follow jesus today? what does it mean to be a disciple?
all these questions...and i'm sure many more,
sunday at 4:00 in the upper room,
peace to you,
scott
