In today's Gospel reading from Luke 5, Jesus got into Simon's boat and asked him to put out a short distance from the shore. He then said to Simon, "Put out into deep water and lower your nets for a catch." Simon said in reply, "Master, we have worked hard all night and have caught nothing, but at your command I will lower the nets." When they had done this, they caught a great number of fish and their nets were tearing. I just want to focus upon part of Simon's reply "but at your command I will . . ." Here is a big beautiful "but"! It's letting the Lord know that even if I don't think it's a good idea, I'll still do what you want me to do. This is being absolutely cool!
