Freshwater: Rialto Soda Fountain

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...

Rialto Soda Fountain

Paul and I found our new favorite local treasure! First of all, they sell Sugarfree Huckleberry flavored stuff, so that's an amazing win for me right there!

(2nd and Center Street, tucked in the corner next to the Rialto Movie Theater)

They have really good pretzels, a tasty sugarfree huckleberry phosphate, and yummy milkshakes. In fact, they have a huge variety of menu choices! Flavored coffees and sodas, snacks, and old fashioned favorites like Black Jack gum.

They also serve,Tim Horton's coffee, smooth, just strong enough and will make you a fresh pot if they're out or if it's been sitting. My daughter was absolutely thrilled to hear this as she loves Tim Horton's, and it's usually a bit out of reach.
