Learning to fish

Frank von Holzhausen

I am not much of a fisherman (never have been), but over the last few years, I’ve learned my share about where and how to do it. Not the physical act of fishing, mind you—rather, fishing the way Jesus taught us.

Let me explain. I own a consulting design business. A few years ago when the economy took a downturn, our clients started to pull back, and we felt that we were going to have to do some belt-tightening. As a Christian Scientist, I knew that I could work this out through prayer.
