Come Thirsty

"On the last and greatest day of the Feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him." John 7:37,38

"Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life." Rev 22: 17

Right now I am working through 'Come thirsty', by Max Lucado. It is encouraging me to drink deeply of Christ everyday and to find in Him refreshment and nourishment for my soul. These are beautiful verses that urge me to come to Christ, as only He can bring me life, and satisfy my thirsty soul. What is so neat about the John 7 text is that this was at the end of the Feast of Tabernacle, where the priests would encircle the alter 7 times while pouring out water, symolizing and remembering the water coming from rock in the desert. It is here that Jesus shouts, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink." Are you sick of trying to find other things to satisfy your hungery and thirsty soul? I encourage you all to go to Christ this day to have your thirst quenched! What an amazing gift!

Monday: Karen and I began our Creole lessons. We went for about 3 hours. And then after that I sat down with Guido, and continued learning for a while. It is quite enjoyable. We learned how to conjugate verbs in the present, past and future tenses. Wow, it sure brings back French classes.
And the rest of the day we just hung out with the Bartels. Now, that was hard work:)

Tuesday: that's today, just in case anyone is confused. We went with a van full to a town called Sabana Grande de Boya, to a christian school there, and installed window shutters on

the new addition to the school they put up. The town is about 1.5 hours away from the capital, but the roads are

a lot better than 10 years ago, when i was last there, that's for sure. So, today was a good hard days work - very enjoyable, even more so because the air is cooler in that town. Well, that's all for now.

Have a blessed day. Randy
