Friends of our Lord Jesus,

We live in a community that has a unique time change.  No, it is not November 6, when we set our clocks back an hour, but October 12 when the irrigation water is shut off.  From October until the middle of April many of us will not have that wonderful, unlimited source of water for irrigating our lawns and gardens.  The water in the irrigation canal will stop flowing and the canal will be empty for the next six months.    However, God's grace and His Word never stop flowing.  Everytime we come to our Lord in prayer and read His Word, there is a power that flows into our lives.  The prophet Isaiah writes, "As the rain and the snow come down from heaven  and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word, that goes out from my mouth: it will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it."  Isaiah 55:10-11

Your brother in Christ,  Pastor Mick
