The Drinking must exceed the draining- so our thirst is quenched, there is a satisfaction in our souls, and so we are plumped and healthy. Pushing fifty, I was informed that my skin needs more moisture, not less. I come to see this is true in the maturation of souls too. Maturing souls do not need less, they often need more. Not more of the same, but more that will penetrate deeper, more that nourish from the roots.

We sometimes get very long dry spells. When it happens, it feels so sad.  The grass turns dry and  brown, trees go bare, and dust starts to swirl. Life feels threatened. Our proud garden city being licked by the dust as the sky remains cloudless.... until - the rain came - and the life that still pulses beneath the ground bursts forth, and things began to green again.  Like the grass and leaves all about us... life can cause us to turn dry and dull, and even risk going lifele

Hey soul carrier, how are you doing on the journey? I sensed some of us got waylaid. Some of us got distracted. Some of us had such a huge thing drop across our path, we despair of journeying on. Some of us were nearly kidnapped! So here is a reminder to self and you: we have enemies, and we need travelling companions {this is why I really hope we can start writing comments at the end of each post and just see how our souls get watched by others.

Welcome.  This is our fourth stop, and as I look over our journey, something emerges. When we encounter Jesus: each time you read, pause, go away to a 'closet' place to be -- Jesus steps out from our hazy ideas to become a solid, real Presence and Person who has much to offer our hungry, thirsty hearts.

Our journey coincides with a season known as Lent. It is a forty-day period when we look inwards for signs of new life and symptoms of anti-life. Yes, we are a work in progress, and often the trajectory is anything but straight!  We will sight Grace and Hope and the fruit of the Spirit. We will also see traces of dark, and shadows. Our normal human tendency is to avoid the latter. But Christ's finished work on the Cross means we no longer fear the dark side.

Forty days is a short time in a life-time. Yet much can happen - when we make regular time to be apart, away, alone - with God. Welcome back to our forty-day journey to the never-dried-up well ! The Word "..for it is God who works to will and to do... " ~ Phil 2v13  

Welcome.  Let’s go to the Well. The Word We were last at a real well, retold to us in John 4, where Jesus offered Living water. The next few days, let us hang out with Jesus as He walks the shoreline of lake Galilee and teaches in her towns. 

Journey To The Never-Dried-Up Well - A Lent Series Every five days, there will be a short reading and a reflection on our website and social media.

We all have moments of insecurity, aloneness, and isolation. In one of our Read-Share Book Clubs, we explored “Sacred Attachment”, by Michael John Cusick together. It is a book that merges attachment theory, neuroscience, and ancient Christian spirituality to guide people toward experiencing a safe, secure, and authentic relationship with God, especially in the wake of trauma, spiritual exhaustion, or woundedness.
