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...

Alexa and the Echo Show

 Okay, I've wanted one since I got to play with the one my folks have, but it was a want, so I did wait until there was a pretty significant sale.

Alexa has been in my kitchen for a few days now, and my Spotify playlist is running a lot of the time, without having to interrupt it anytime something happens on my phone. This is a big plus for me, and means I can do fun things like video baking clips with the background music instead of just sharing screenshots.



 I also set a hilarious alarm, just to laugh at it in the morning.  Grand Tour: Season 2

I can ask questions and get information, though she was definitely off when it came to the air quality the other day (actual rating, 88, Alexa's information, 44). 

Not a need, but definitely a fun and interesting addition to the house.
