Fishing
The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive, but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope.

Behind The Art
People like this because it appeals, with some wit, to the avocation of fishing. On another level, though it does not seem to be often taken this way, it is a good symbol for evangelism – “Follow me and I will make you fishers of men”. Mark 1:17 (The Living Bible says “fishermen for the souls of men”).
Some souls may seem elusive, yet in word and deed we cast the gentle nets of witness with steady hope.
