How does it feel when you get into a slump? Take a moment to listen to this song as it refreshes your spirit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEBAHFFJdW8 I try to encourage others with scriptures which are words that bring life to a weary body, a thirsty soul and even dried old bones.  So. with this writing I would like to share with you how at times I feel during this time of the year. Pardon me as I begin an open and honest blog about Tis the Season. I am really enjoying the cool fall weather and the reds, yellows; and browns of the California fall. There seems to be something else about this time of the year.

John 8:1-12   J esus returned to the Mount of Olives, but early the next morning he was back again at the Temple. A crowd soon gathered, and he sat down and taught them. As he was speaking, the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in the act of adultery. They put her in front of the crowd. John 4:13-30  Jesus replied,  “Anyone who drinks this water will soon become thirsty again.   But those who drink the water I give will never be thirsty again. It becomes a fresh, bubbling spring within them, giving them eternal life.   “Please, sir,” the woman said, “give me this water! Then I’ll never be thirsty a
