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...

The Most Easygoing Cat in the World

Really, he is.  Want to see?

Told you!  He lets them put him in all sorts of nifty outfits ;).  He reminds me a lot of Tab, because he's very personable, and just content to be there and be with you.  Most cats only love you if you feed them in my experience, and it's wonderful to find that glorious exception when they just love to be with you.


I've named him Lancelot, because he is a gallant and chivalrous knight, who always accompanies and watches over his lady love, Guinevere.
