High Water...

South Fork of the Kentucky River
Back in the Spring of 2013, I went to a place where God is honored and depended on - Oneida Baptist Institute.

"Oneida Baptist Institute is a Christian boarding and day school for students, Christian and non-Christian, in grades 6-12 with a mission to provide structured living, learning and working environment in which each students is challenged to grow mentally, physically, socially spiritually in order to acquire an Education for Time and Eternity."

I experienced part of the flood of God's Grace on the school through the donations they receive but we also witnessed a flood of water due to several inches of rain that week.

Devotional Thoughts I had at the time:
1. Water took lots of garbage out of it hiding places - Jesus, the Living Water floods our souls and washes out the garbage that He finds there. 

2. The River of Life overwhelms us - and we see and feel its power in our lives. Eternal life will engulf us one day and all  - I wonder if some of the "garbage" will be missed opportunities.

3. This little snake was harmless but was a good reminder that God and his creation are alive and well at Oneida Baptist Institute. Pray for them as they make God's will known to the students and through the ministry that goes on there.

  1. One of mine and Mom's favorite places to visit and volunteer. Mom loved going there, even though, in the end, she could only clip coupons. A great school.
