Water, Water Everywhere and Not a Drop To Drink

We have a well at our house. That means the water that comes in runs through a softener before coming out the tap. I looked at the amount of softener I put in and decided it would be better for my family to not drink all that salt so we order our water from Distillata. Usually it comes like clockwork. This past week there was a glitch and instead of getting our water every two weeks they missed a delivery and didn't deliver for four. It was interesting how it impacted us. Our house became a little desert. We wandered around with rags on our heads and our lips cracked checking every day to see if the bottles had been delivered. It wasn't quite that bad but you understand. There was a time when all water was good water. When we drank out of the tap or out of a hose. But now with all the stuff we have found in water we have turned to purified water. I think it is probably a good thing. It seems we have done the exact opposite with spiritual things in our country. We used to get spiritual water only out of the Bible. It came out cold and pure. Now we look for spiritual advice from everyone from Oprah to the latest pseudo spiritual novel. I guess my advice for the day is to quit drinking out of every spiritual hose and let's get back to the stuff that came deep from the heart of God and was bottled before the foundation of the earth. In our spiritual world there really is water, water everywhere but so much of it contains the things that will eventually make us really sick. So today, go to your bookshelf and take out the Bible and imagine your dry lips wrapping around a bottle of ice cold purified water and let the God who loves you quench the thirst of your soul.
