Christmas Fishing

[Speedy]

Last year was my last as Hospital Chaplain and collected a boat load of new car toys and models.

This year I got sick watching TV News showing a million illegals entering our USA, so I went Fishing...Instead for Real People.  For bait I Used a dozen StarBuck’s hot coffees, Dunkin Donuts, warm gloves, a few new heavy Chamois shirts and a Smile.

Next trip (different spot) I brought two 5ths. of Canadian Club and Jack Daniels (hidden in a brown paper bags) with large bottles of ginger ale and a stack of cups.

 Also shook each ones hand and gave each a $20.00. Even a poor lady had a broken shoe lace, so I tied a fisherman’s knot and got her going again.  Last trip I brought my old Scout master’s Pack Basket (from Vermont) filled with camping gear, and warm goodies, and also a $20.00., and gave that to two ladies out there drifting.   Everyone one was a United States citizen.

 So I caught my limit and ran out of bait but considered it all good fishing trips.

Merry Christmas

Thank you...But I am a real father of four, married 47 years...I'm also a ordained Deacon in the Catholic faith. Can't wait till I get relocated in my house in Newport,Vermont, sometime in March. You know J.C. was a fisherman and all his friends were great fishermen.  Looking forward to learning how to catch those salmon from you guys.

Stay warm and have a Great Christmas season.

Oh sorry for the confusion, in our diocese the deacons don’t wear collars although I know it is permitted by canon law.  Yes Jesus and many of the greatest Saints were fishermen and fishers of men.  Keep up the good work.
