Hanging Out at the Well
Jesus sat by a well. Jacob’s well. Jacob gave that well to his son, Joseph. So, what well are WE digging for OUR children? Jesus is on purpose. He is waiting on a woman. This woman with a past comes at noon because she doesn’t want to deal with the talk of others. Jesus says…
Kanye’s Thirst Was Quenched
I’ve been following the faith journey of Kanye West. I watched him respond to Joel Osteen’s questions at Houston’s Lakewood Church last Sunday morning before his Sunday night’s free, 3-hour gospel concert. Kanye’s responses to Joel’s questions, his lifestyle change, and the concert depict a very changed man. He is consistently giving testimony to his…
Water for our Thristy Souls
Bryson, my youngest grandson, and I were sitting on the deck overlooking the Sea of Cortez. We were talking about a tsunami and the devastation that it can cause. Then he asks me: “What is it that you can’t live without, but it can also kill you?” My “thinker” kicked in and I said: “WATER!”…
Are You Running on Empty — Physically AND Spiritually?
At any given time, you’ll see me with my “must-have” 30 oz. Yeti mug with ice water in it. After a couple of physical issues and how they could have been averted by drinking more water, I now know the benefits of drinking water. Nutritionists say we should drink half our body weight in ounces…
Got Hunger? Get Filled!
Yesterday, I posted about the thirst for water AND God’s living water that will quench our thirst as we draw closer to Him. Today, it’s hunger for natural food and the food of God’s Word and presence. Our 13-day faith pilgrimage most certainly DIDN’T include a spiritual fast from food. We were literally filled with…
Got Thirst? Get Quenched!
God wired us for thirst b y giving us a “low-fluid indicator”. If our fluid level is low, the signals will flare — dry mouth, achy head, weak knees, unclear thinking, even fainting. Just before my Holy Lands trip, I was having some really bad neck and back issues, so I went to the chiropractor…
Checked Your Fluid Level Lately?
Day 162 of Photo Inspirations — Checked Your Fluid Level Lately? God wired us with a built in “low-fluid indicator.” It’s called THIRST. If the fluid level gets low, the signals will flare. Dry mouth. Achy head. Weak knees. Dizziness. If we deprive our bodies of fluid, our bodies will tell us. God…
How Salty Are You?
Today, Tuesday, our missions team will be attending schools, feeding meals, seeing precious children who once lived in a trash dump, now with hope for their future because of loving and caring people who “salted” their world. How “salty” are you? Salt has three qualities: it creates thirst. What if we lived our lives in…
God Wired Us For Thirst
God wired us for thirst – a “low-fluid indicator.” If our fluid level is low, the signals will flare — dry mouth, achy head, weak knees, unclear thinking, even fainting.. If we deprive our bodies of fluid, our bodies will tell us. In the same way, if we deprive our souls of spiritual water, our…
What “Seasoning” Are You?
If you or I were a “seasoning” — how would we “flavor” our relationships with others. Are we cranky and grumpy, and have a tendency of bringing a sour pucker to the atmosphere? Are we capable of outbursts of anger or blowing our tops off with a “flavor” of “hot peppery alarm”? Or does our…
