Sunday Fishing?

I know of only one place in the world where you can go fishing and at the same time spend a day in church! I'll explain.

Many years ago when I was a member of our mission board, I was sent to Mexico on a mission. In the course of our travels, we passed the sleepy little village of Padillo.

Years later, I made another trip down there, and low, and behold! The large lake of Guerrero now covered the spot where the village had been! The village church had not been removed, but now stood not far from shore. It was now possible to enter the main entrance, cast for bass and motor out through a window.

Later, I talked with a longtime fisherman friend and learned that he had many times fished this lake with good success. I didn't ask him if he caught any church going fish.

But it did occur to me that here's the perfect alibi for that fellow who likes to fish on Sunday instead of going to church. He could honestly state that he went to church, while in reality, he was not in the pew, but in his boat!
