Gearing up for spring season with much hope:
-------
John:21:Appendix [in Tiberius]:
Simon Peter said, "I'm going fishing." They [other disciples] replied, "We'll come with you." They went out in the boat but caught nothing that night. It was light by now and there stood Jesus on the shore, though the disciples did not realize it was him. He called out, "Have you caught anything, friends?" They answered, "No." He said, "Throw the net out to starboard and you'll find something." So they dropped the net, and there were so many fish they could not haul it in. John said to Peter, "It is the Lord." At John's words Simon Peter jumpeded into the water. The others came in towing the net and the fish; they were only about a hundred yards from land. As soon as they came ashore they saw that there was some bread, and a charcoal fire with fish cooking on it. Jesus said, "Bring some of the fish you have just caught." Simon Peter went aboard and dragged the net to the shore, full of big fish, 153 of them; and in spite of there being so many the net was not broken. Jesus said to them, "Come and have breakfast." None of the disciples was bold enough to ask, "Who are you?"; they knew quite well it was the Lord...
...this was the third time that Jesus showed himself to the disciples after rising from the dead.
---------
OK, got that? When all else fails think of this story as told by Jesus' favorite friend and youngest disciple John and CAST OFF TO THE STARBOARD. See if it works... a good technique just thinking about it in my book!...hehe
