Earlisr
this year
the smog
from
fsr
auay forest f ire s s ettled on us
for
ueeks
at a
time
tile were living in a dust bouil.
I t
was summer
and people like
to
enjoy
the
out of doors betuieen school is
out
and
fal l term. When uil l you f i l l the pool
for
suimming? Each uho
asked was
requested
to pray
for
rain.
Lightning
and
thunder
announced
the change. The uiater pounded on the uindous, some got under the door
and the dry arroyo
uias
hit with
flash flooding that
carried
auiay the
unsuspecting
small
animals. Take a deep
breaththe air
is cleaner
as
the
land
gets
greener l
UIATERI
All
sizes of bottled uater is big business. The
hovering
90F temperatures most of
you
suffered this year
uias
also
part of
our
summer
l ife
style
even
at
6,000
feet
above sea
level.
I
boiled
cooled and prepared water in sterilized glass bottles which came out
of the frig
ice cold. You
took a
bottle
with
you when
you left
the
house.
UI T RI My brother
and four sisters and I grew up on a ranch
in Montana nest led close
to
the Begrtooth Mountains. Our water came
from Rocky Creek. Crystal clear and ice cold that
was
waterl One
short
hot summer when the
creek
was low we dammed up the
stream
to
swim. Uie
also
caught rainbow
trout
hiding under
the rocks. The
frozen snow and ice on the glacier our very favorite view provided
a dip
that refreshed in fact you
screamed at the
f irs t plunge.
Ule
have a well on Rancho
Altamira
that
is very
deep. During the Ik
years we lived here without electricity the windmill pulled
up
the
water.
Rodney and I have seen a
variety
of
wells
in
our
years to
the
villages. UJhen
a well
is
deep
you
need a
good
long rope
to
pull
up the
water.
In the villages going after water used to be the
social time
of the
day for young
women
and
gir ls
Balancing
their
clay water jars on their heads was a sight to beholdl
One
day as
Jesus
was going through Samaria with his
disciples
he sat
down
by a well.
The source
of water
was
deep.
The disciples
went
to the city to buy food. In
this
area Jews and Samaritans dlrdn t
associate with each
other in
fact i t was known
that
Jews would not use
the same dishes that
Samaritans
use. Jesus was t ired and thi rsty from
his journey.
On
the path to
the well came a Samaritan woman to draw
water.
Jesus said to her
Will
you give me a
drink?
She
said
You
are
a
Jew
and I
am
a Samaritan
woman.
How
can you ask
me
for
a
drink? The conversat ion
continued
and
when
she
discovered
who He was she hurried
back to
t e l l
others
leaving behind her w ater
jar . They
dropped
everything
they were doing and came.
H
even
got
an invitation to stay around a
couple
of days.
Later
the people
would say
to the woman We
no
longer
believe
just because
of
what
you
said
now we have heard for
ourselves
and we know
that
this
man
really is the
Sgvior of
the
world. WA T E R1
DID
THE SAMARITAN WOM N
GIV/E HIM A
DRINK AT
THE
WELL?
