Freshwater: As Time Goes By

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...

As Time Goes By

Yes, it's sentimental, cheesy, and sometimes silly, but I absolutely love it. This show makes me laugh, it makes me smile, sometimes it makes me say awwwww, and sometimes it even makes me cry. It's a lot like a good book!

Starring one of my favorite actresses (Judi Dench), this British romantic comedy series ran for 10 seasons if you include the two episode season ten reunion.

Jean and Lionel were star crossed lovers during the Korean War. They fell in love then when Lionel was posted overseas they lost touch. This part of the story begins 38 years later, and I won't fill in any more details so that you can fall in love with it yourself!
