Water certainly abounds in all of these readings. Maybe it is not a coincidence that today we are going to soak in the hot pools. In this land where it has miles of coastline and massive rivers and all this snow that will eventually melt into one ginormous puddle -- it's pretty amazing! Water is probably the one essential ingredient in life that we cannot do without for survival and it is a joy to have it for recreation as well. Jesus did not need it to heal the ill man. He was healed because of his faith and persistence. Jesus can do so much, for us as well, if we only have faith.
Short, sweet and crisp today!
Love you!

I love the images of water within the christian tradition. I think in another life I would be a sea born creature. I have always found healing presence when surrounded by water's warm embrace!
