Catch and Release

I was going to write something completely different, but as I thought on how to title it, The picture of 'Catch and Release' came to me. And the thoughts came flooding in behind the title.

When I hear 'catch and release' I automatically think of fishing. Fishing, something i am not TOO fond of, makes me think of Jesus saying to some fishermen, "Follow Me and you will become fishers of men." My mind then goes back to the first word in the title, which is 'catch'. That makes me think of Paul the apostle who said "That I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus" in Philippians 3:12.

So, The question comes to mind then, "Have you been 'caught'? Have you been apprehended? And if you have, the next question I am led to is this, "Why? For what purpose? To what end?"

More on this later...any questions or comments would be most welcome.
