For more about Water Please see this blog.

I know that I may not be the most eloquent speaker but I know someone who sure is and would like you to look at her blog. She is a great friend and great writer please see her blog to learn more about water not only in the San Luis Valley but around the world.

We have been blessed with the living water that Jesus Christ brought us but so many people in the world today don't have clean water to drink that what can living water mean when some may actually be thirsty for just a drink of cool, refreshing water.

I am so blessed to live where I live and have my own well. I am reminded of Matthew 25,(The Message)

I was hungry and you fed me,
I was thirsty and you gave me a drink,
I was homeless and you gave me a room,
I was shivering and you gave me clothes,
I was sick and you stopped to visit,
I was in prison and you came to me.'

37-40"Then those 'sheep' are going to say, 'Master, what are you talking about? When did we ever see you hungry and feed you, thirsty and give you a drink? And when did we ever see you sick or in prison and come to you?' Then the King will say, 'I'm telling the solemn truth: Whenever you did one of these things to someone overlooked or ignored, that was me—you did it to me.'

Come to St. Thomas and we will give you a drink of water - real water or living water.

Free Water

As we in Alamosa continue to live through the nightmare of salmonella in the water - we continue to reach out to our community by providing free water for them. we gave out over 1000 gallons on Monday, Wednesday we had 588 gallons and we gave out 300 gallons and we have received $700 from the Diocese to buy more water to give out. We bought another $100 of water today from Safeway on a card we received from Twyla Zittle. We are truly blessed and I am continually thankful for a loving and giving community that I happen to be a part of. Here are some pictures.

Living Water

Living water has great significance considering our town is in crisis with our city water system being contaminated by salmonella. We will be giving out free water starting next week to the community. We have water coming to us and we will be buying water to distribute. Right now people can boil their water and it is safe but when they flush the system with chlorine it may take up to two weeks to clean it out and it won't be safe for use at all.

Living water the water that Jesus gives to us refreshes us and gives life - life that sustains us and never leaves us. Fill my cup Lord I lift up and come and quench this thirsting of my soul! How many of us thirst for this living water - the water that will fill us and leave us whole? This Easter we have the opportunity to bring others to the cup of living water and may we give them the sustaining power of God's Love so that they too can know the healing power of God's Living Water.
