one thing i've learned & continue to learn: this life is not mine own or about our version of the end result but joyfully & painfully about the transformation process

high quality h2o & high quality life

water is such an intricate part of my life...outside of coffee, it's the only thing i drink on a daily basis so i'm not sure what i'd do without quality, clean water. since visiting belize for a mission trip in '02, i'm reminded on numerous occasions how grateful i need to be to live in america...a country that allows us to consume one of the basics/essentials (water) needed to survive and even enjoy a quality life on this earth. if you aren't aware, access to clean water is so crucial to every human being no matter where you live because without everything done w/ water on a daily basis is done w/ contaminated water...contaminated water containing diseases, bacteria, and so on. it's blows my mind every time i think about how easy we have access to our clean water where so many across the globe barely have access to any water, clean or unclean.

2 of my dearest friends, leslie and derek irons, have decided to do something about this. they have decided to partner with an organization to raise the $$ needed to build a well for a village in sudan. not only will the well provided physical water but the organization will also share w/ the villagers how they can taste of the true Living Water. please check out their blog: http://givinglifeh2o.blogspot.com/ for more details and definitely consider partnering w/ them as the Lord desires.
