Fishers of Men

Wharf Fishermen

I saw the neatest thing today.  I saw a fisherman catch a stingray.  There was definitely a struggle but in the end the fisherman won.  I actually have never seen a stingray in real life like that except at a zoo.  In fact the zoo lets you pet them.  Not something I'm going to try but it was interesting to see other people pet them.

"Truth is Stranger Than Fiction"

So some say...

Have you ever heard that expression?  Some authors write books as fiction only because they know that the general public will not believe them if they told them that they were telling the truth.  Think about all the science fiction books out there...  I remember reading a book that had a preface saying that the events in the book were actually true however the book was put in the fiction category because the writer knew that not everyone would believe him if he claimed he wrote the truth... 

Lion

Sheru

What is it like to be lost?  How about being separated from your mother for over 25 years and then finally finding her through Google Earth no less?  The movie Lion is based on a true story about a young boy who gets lost and finds himself miles from his hometown where through a series of events he eventually gets adopted by an Australian couple.  While in his 20's he finally begins the search for his birth mother.

God's Garden

An Eternal Gift

Incidentally...

Which one are you?

This is something I've always wondered about but sometimes when you hear about the worst in humanity...  You wonder why it is that some kids grow up to be just like the worst in humanity that they have experienced and others the opposite happens?  I asked some friends this question tonight and I finally got an answer.  It's all about having control after experiencing loss of control.  The answer is control.  Do you need to control or are you able to let it go?  Just let it go...  Easier said than done...  Don't you think?

Racoon Showdown

Eye to Eye

I surprised a racoon recently while I was walking out from a building.  He looked at me and I looked at him.  What was he thinking?  It occurred to me that I should have gotten a picture but then he just all of a sudden scurried away.  If we only knew what the animal kingdom was thinking when they look at humans...
