Water and the Word: Sky Juice
But the land that you are crossing over to occupy is a land of hills and valleys, watered by rain from the sky.
(Deuteronomy 11:11)
Thatās what I used to call it,
in my teenage-attempt to be cool.
After all, it falls from the skies
regularly, or so it seems. [endif] [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]
But thatās not where I get mine.
It comes, instead from a treatment plant,
miles down the road,
through sealed pipes, free
from microscopic organisms
that would wreak havoc,
were they to gain access
to my digestive system. [endif] [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]
I turn the tap in any of a number
of sinks throughout my home,
and it flows in abundance. [endif] [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]
Have you any idea
what kind of effort it takes
to collect actual sky juice?
What kind of problems
are created by cistern storage?
What inconsistencies in volume
the weather can cause?
What kind of treatment
is required at the use point,
in order to restore it
to safe drinking status?
Ask LWW network folks.
They can enlighten you.
Sky juice, indeed!
