Well, I am jumping in feet first!! I thought that this blogging thing would be great for me because I used to write a journal and I have written songs and poems and stories in the past.....but it has been way too long since I have written anything and I am missing it!
Why the title Living Water? Well, it seemed to be an obvious choice today after I received an email that directed me to a web site that gives you a Bible verse that is selected for you according to your Birth date.....Mine is ...John 4:14 NIV (but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.) ........I began to think about it and reflected on the water theme that seems to be connected with my life......My Grandpa was a water well driller, my Dad and his Dad were in the Radiator business (Which cools the water in a automobile engine) I was in the Radiator business for 12 years with my parents.......and as a cosmetologist , use a lot of water to wash hair !! ......and now I am married to an owner operator of a Water Truck company called Poe's Water Kegs! It is also part of a song that we are singing for the Good Friday Service at church next weekend
Come as you are, come and drink from the living water
That flowed from His hands, flowed from His side
Come as you are, come and bathe in the healing water
Cleansing from sin, releasing new life
Chorus:
Draw near to Him, and He’ll draw near to you
He’s been waiting for you to call on His name
So come, come as you are.
************************************************************************************
I Just love that song! It really is appropriate ........ like a lot of things in life we want to do,
I have been wanting to start writing again and just have not made the time.....so here it is, just as I am, not after all the laundry is caught up or my desk is organized or I am in shape or have lost 5 pounds or have everything just perfect......that day never comes!! The living water that the Lord has springing up in me is ready to be poured out as He supplies .......And I am going to do my best to make this blog a fountain of thoughts , stories , good words for whoever is thirsty for a little living water.

Hi Lora, How terrific to hear the enthusiasm in your spirit as you "jump in feet first" to your new blog! Water is my chosen element and I wonder what my verse might be for July 27! I look forward to sharing thoughts and comments with you as I check in. I'll definitely be in touch, but we'll be cruising across the country from the end of April to the east coast with several stops along the way. Don't be concerned if you don't see us in the harbor right away this spring. We have a motor home and friends of ours will be cruising right along with us on our adventure!
The idea you have is just great! writing, journaling, doing art work is all so valuable. The sharing of our thoughts and images is exciting to me!
Thanks for letting us know about your new adventure and for inviting us along to share the journey!
Have a wonderful Easter and give a hug and kiss to Doug and Julia intil we see you guys!
love,
Judy Brammer

Hi Lora,
Not to mention the water God gave us (the ocean), which your family enjoys so much, as well as providing an opportunity to spend such quality time together.
It was a blessing for our family when Michele was growing up, and still is so.
Love to Julia,
Joe
Hi my sweet girl....I am so proud of you. As is sit here in Kona, and look out over the big blue Pacific Ocean, I will be reminded of your special verse. The Lord has blessed you with many gifts, and it is such a joy for me to see you using them.
Aloha and lots of love, Mom
