THIRSTY?
2 St. Mary’s County Times Thursday, August 17, 2023
It’s been a hot summer, and it seems like it’s only getting hotter. While I’m doing my lawn work, it
feels like I can’t go much more than 20 minutes without needing to catch some shade and a few sips
of cold water. More than a few, frankly, as it never quite quenches my thirst. This heat always leaves
me wanting, sweating out more than I can take in. I want to run back to the air conditioning, to the
coolness that brings comfort.
But that comfort is fleeting, and my thirst is ever growing. No matter how much I drink, I will be
thirsty again in an hour. The work is endless, and its demands draw the life out of me, soaking my
hair and clothes along the way.
As I sit in the shade, my mind wanders to the book of John, Chapter 4. You see, Jesus had stopped
at Jacob’s well one afternoon and sent His disciples to get food from nearby. While he sat waiting
in the heat of the day, a lone woman came to gather her daily water. He asked her for a drink, and
she scoffed because she was an outcast of her community and couldn’t believe that this man would
request her help. He then told her that if she truly knew who He was, she would have requested His
water, the true water which replenishes not the body but the soul, forming a well within which pours
out eternal life, a gift far greater than the temporary refreshment of the cup.
Jesus, knowing this woman’s needs were greater than water, recognized her stature within her
community, for it was unusual that a woman would travel alone, in the heat of the day, to fill her jars.
He spoke with her at length, showing her compassion and revealing His nature to her. Immediately,
she ran back to town, telling all of the people His words. They received her and believed because
of her. She had taken in the Living Water and become a well springing forth. In doing so, she was
reconciled to her community, accepted because of the Living Water she brought to them. Jesus not
only gave her an eternity of spiritual filling but also healed her communal nature, allowing her to join
back into the community.
If you’ve been finding yourself thirsting for water or community, or you’ve been feeling the spiritual
thirst we all long to quench, we at The Mission would like to offer you the opportunity to drink from
this same well. There is a Water greater than can be found at the tap, one that quenches, fulfills, and
satisfies without end, and His name is Jesus. He is waiting for you, an open
spring which is pouring out in abundance. If you have any questions or need
someone to talk to, please reach out to us at The Mission or your local church.
We would love the opportunity to show you how to draw from His well.

ences. Suddenly Maryland’s painful move to the B1G a decade ago appears
to be proactive genius.
The understandable emotional reaction to all of this is to lament the loss of
order, the familiar and how things used to be, and to point at the fluid landscape,
shout it down as soulless greed and declare that once-great college sports will
never be great again.
There’s a lot of that going around, in sports and other aspects of life. And
I’m guilty in this case. No Pac-12? More shape-shifting? Bah! But that is nos-

correct. The loss of rivalries and player movement are disrupters, but when
crying in our beers, ponder the gains. College athletes are now free to roam and apartments
profit from their labor. They are no longer indentured servants of the NCAA
and universities, helpless to pursue personal interests when coaches move or
programs go on probation. With scholarships no longer four-year contracts,
and with conference alignment more a casual intent than a marriage, sustained
success is harder, but building a winning program is arguably easier (the test of
that statement may be Colorado this season, where head coach Deion Sanders
inherited a 1-11 team and has aggressively reconstructed the roster).
Admittedly, that little pep talk was as much for me as it was for you. The
Pac-12’s cannibalization stings. The classic rivalries will be sorely missed;
much like this Maryland fan misses basketball games against Duke and North
Carolina. However, a Maryland basketball game at UCLA or a football game
against USC at the Coliseum sounds fabulous, particularly if played late on
a Saturday night while I am pounding out words for the following week’s “A
View from the Bleachers.”
As for handling life’s non-sports changes, I need advice more than I am
positioned to give it. If you have any, send me an email. I’m always up late.
