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?
