Fishers of Men

Caution: Devout Christians may be offended. Read at your own risk.
(Then again, if you aren't offended already....)

Matthew 4:19

And he said to them, "Come after me and I will make you fishers of men."

Although my actual appointments are not at all like fishing, the time between them is a lot like fishing. First, I prepare the bait--my ad--then wait around for someone to bite. The battle to reel in the fish is the tedious dance of phone calls, screening, scheduling and booking,  each side pulling back and forth, each side willing the other towards them.

But I don't really want to compare my clients to fish caught and eaten. That seems a little too... predatory for me. It's more suitable to my nature to take the religious metaphor and really, am I not a fisher of men?

And I quite like the idea of providing religious experiences.
