PERSPECTIVE
Three men happened upon a pristine pool of cool fresh water in the midst of a vast arid wilderness. The youngest of them ran ahead to peer onto the water and beheld his reflection on its’ glassy surface. He was singularly elated at his discovery and hurried to bid his fellows to look.
The middle-aged, ‘stoutish’ man carefully observed. Then shielding his eyes, he looked deep into the clear liquid. He then let out a great shout. Gold, there is gold abundant in this place. It’s the mother lode. I stake my claim!
As the two rushed feverishly in the scorching sun, the old man drank deeply and praised Yah for the water of life.
