Jeremiah 17:8 - "For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit."
Freshwater
Located in the wilds of Wyoming, the name Freshwater was chosen as a Western analogy to Christ. Just as He is the Living Water, and we must have Him to have eternal life, any desert dweller knows the importance of fresh water to life, both for self, and the nourishment of crops or livestock. By taking nourishment in God and His word, we strengthen our own relationship with Him, our faith, and the quality and abundance of our fruitfulness.
Our keystone verse is from Jeremiah, Chapter 17, Verse 8: "For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see whenSave heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit."
The fruit that we speak of is mentioned in Galatians 5:22
"22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law."
And the heat could be anything we experience that might test our faith in God; trials and tribulations, relationships, anything that focuses our love and attention anywhere but on Him...

Reflections #LIBM409 Reflection 8
Well, it's done. I had a chance to review my peer's project and rubric and offer input, and he had a chance to view mine and offer input, and I got some valuable information! This has been a pretty deep learning experience for me, and I'm looking forward to putting it to use.

Topic and Standards - LIBM409 Reflection 6
You know, Wyoming doesn't have Library Standards, per se. We have Language Arts Standards in Reading, Writing, Language, and Speaking and Listening. There are also content area standards at each grade level. The standards themselves have gotten pretty tricky to wade through, with over 60 pages just in the Language Arts section.
https://edu.wyoming.gov/educators/standards/language-arts/#
I am hoping that the standards I have used are what I need to present. They are valid and related to the assignment, so that should work.
