FROM A FISH'S MOUTH?

Joann Smedley

The Bible tells how Jesus came up with money to pay taxes. He told his disciple Peter to go fishing and look in the mouth of the first fish he caught (see Matt. 17:24–27). And there was the money!

When my husband was young, he had an experience that reminded him of this. He and his brother were about to come home from Bermuda. They had spent all their money and had only airplace tickets and a little change in their pockets. They then discovered that a departure tax was due before they could leave the country.

They had no credit cards, the banks were closed, and ATMs hadn't been invented yet.
