To lose one’s health is more,
To lose one’s soul is such a loss
That no man can restore.
Thirty-nine people died while you read this

When it came to fishing, Simon, son of Jonah, appears to have been an angler of dubious ability. There is no record that he ever caught a fish without divine intervention. Most likely, the accounts of those miraculous catches were included in the gospels to assure readers that there was a similar
