Life These Days Is Like A Fire Hydrant
I have to say, there is so much going on in the world that it feels like we are drinking from a fully open fire hydrant. The world has gone crazy, and it’s one thing after another. I am overwhelmed by it all, and it doesn’t seem to be getting any better. That fire hydrant is coming at us quick, and it feels like we are drowning.
Every day the news of the country and the world seems to be getting worse. Joy seems to be in short supply.
I don’t want to be tested in life like this. I feel bad for the people who are worse off than me, and it’s like two fire hydrants for them. Every day feels like a week, and every week feels like a month. Something has to change, and I don’t know when it will. Grace and peace to us all.
Stanley Tumblers, The Hydration Sensation
So, do you have one of these Stanley Tumbler things? These are all the rage right now. Stores can’t keep them on the shelves, just ask Target.
Everyone must be thirsty so they need something huge to carry around to provide them more than adequate hydration. They even sell accessories such as a purse for these things. It’s just the latest in pop culture and merch.
My sister got us a dupe which seems to do the job just fine. I remember when everyone just got water out of a fountain. Those were the days.
Sunday Reflection: Water And Light
Light and water are two things that make life possible. They are also things that can cleanse our hearts and souls. Water can flood and end life. Too much light can blind and burn. It’s amazing how a candle can interrupt the darkness. Water can quench a thirst. We need light to bring forth the truth.
It’s water that can generate power to create artificial light. In my faith life is brought into existence by the light of the sun and the waters of Earth as spoken into existence by God. They are connected and essential to every living thing across the universe. May we be guardians of the light and stewards of the waters.
Let there be light. May water give life.
A Dry Friday In #Chattanooga One Year Ago
One year ago on Friday the 13th, much of Chattanooga went without water due to a water main break that served much of the area I live and work at. Needless to say it was a big inconvenience. Water is important and we learned how much that was true.
Wednesday Wisdom: Water #WednesdayWisdom
Water is life. It is one of the first things made in creation. So much of our livelihoods are dependent on the stuff. For a believer its cleansing for the soul. H20 is a molecule and when there is a lot of it there can be hydration for the body, recreation for the spirit, power for our lives. It can be a way we receive nourishment and care.
When water becomes violent such as a storm or a hurricane then it becomes devastating. Water seems to always win. You can build things to retain it but still it wins. But on the riverbanks and at the lake it can be a place for people to gather to connect with one another.
Today, lets think about water in all the ways it is a significant part of our existence. Don’t forget to drink what you need and not waste any. Water is very much alive.
