"Battling the baddest fish on the planet"
It’s churlish, I think, to dismiss the metaphysical outright.
The cosmos never fails to astound.
Ed Young, a pastor, had dreamed of seeing a Great White for fifty years. And, then, on the one fishing trip, Young hooked two eleven-footers off Hilton Island in South Carolina.
“We usually get one chance a day to hook a Great White,” Young’s guide, Chip Michalove told Fitsnews. “Occasionally we get two, sometimes even three. But very rarely do you see another swim up 45 minutes later… I remember our conversation while the fight ensued. With a flat calm sea, the sun setting, we discussed how this is probably the closest thing to being in heaven without crossing over. It’s not very often we see an ocean so flat it blended in with the sky… It helps when you have a pastor to even the odds.”
Chip is licensed to tag Great White sharks in conjunction with the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries as they swarm the South Caroline coast from December through March.
Chip estimates a thousand Whites swim down from New England every year.
Both Whites released etc.

Endangered Species my ass!
Chip can’t be his real name.
Crisp?
Can’t tell you how many pastors I deliver the mail to with either a new Volvo wagon, or a beautiful giant house.
Who is paying for this shit?
A lot of people die without any family and the pastor is the only one they can think of to put in their will.
Never thought of that.
that’s why its important to be nice to the elderly.
I’ve heard of a few cases where people have taken care of the oldies at the end just to get their money, just never thought of it in a pure form.
I use to install and sand hardwood floors way back. People usually want them sanded before they move in. Its easier to remove the radiators than to try and sand under them. Guys I worked with found socks full of money stuck behind a bunch them from the old lady that died in the house before it was sold.
Religion is good business. I know of local pastors who send thugs to collect tithings. Just as Jebus told them to in the bibley book.
Short arms and deep pockets the priest have.
