• Today's "Moment With Mark" - (10) The Call

  22 November, 2012

  As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen.  "Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men."  At once they left their nets and followed him.  Mark 1:16-18

  
  It began as any other 'normal' day. There was nothing to indicate this one would be different. Simon and Andrew simply did what they had done all their adult lives.  Then their world was invaded with an invitation and a promise and life would never be the same again.
