Music M. Anderson - Together on The Road
There must have been a thriving fishing industry on the shores of Lake Gennesaret. The partnership of Andrew, Peter, James and John had been successful enough to buy two large fishing vessels and employ a number of men to help them. The work was hard and involved night shifts to have the catch ready for the early morning market. Fish was a staple diet and preferred fresh. With no ice or fridges the demand for new fish every day would be high. On this particular morning the fishing partners had caught nothing. I wonder how they felt? Perhaps Peter in particular was very tired and beat and afraid of what tis failure might mean. Perhaps the best thing to do was to clean up the nets and listen to the new teacher called Jesus.
