Thanks for blessing us so with all that!!! Your enjoyment of and enthusiasm for our Lord ("Wait 'til the Messiah is revealed. Sooooo totally worth the wait! There's no competition.") bespeaks the manifest fulfillment in you--and OUT of you!--of Jesus' prophecy to the woman at the well:
Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said,
rivers of living water will flow from within them.
A sailor walks on water and thinks nothing of it. Just another day in the life on the sea.
Join the navi, see the world:
Isaiah 55
3 Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.
4 Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people.
Like with the sticks/trees -- this stuff is way more literal than people think.
