It took a year to read the Bible, then almost 9 months to read the Apocrypha. Now, I'm going to try to offer reflections on the Narrative Lectionary. But, I won't be posting daily--at least, for a while.

Going Fishing, a Reflection on John 21:1-4

The disciples believed--they had seen the risen Jesus for themselves.

How does belief change people?

These disciples, among the closest to Jesus, go back to their regular lives. They had been fishermen, and now they are fishing again.

We heard the Easter story on Sunday. We heard it read from the Bible, spoken from the pulpit, and sung by the choir.

What was Monday like for us? How does our belief change us? Certainly we go back to whatever is our fishing. But, has something changed for us? Have we changed in some way?
