I Corinthians 13: 4-7
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does
not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not
self-seeking,
it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love
does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always
perseveres.

be one flesh."

On a lonely stretch of highway just outside of
Groom, Texas (near Pampa) stands a 19 story tall cross that can be
seen for miles from any
direction. The arm spans are 110 feet across.
It is constructed of a welded steel framework
covered with steel sheeting.
This cross is the result of the
efforts of Steve
Thomas and family of Pampa, Texas. It took 250 welders eight months
to complete, and
weighs 1,250 tons. It stands alone,
unsupported by guy wires, and can withstand
winds of 140 miles per hour.
Steve Thomas' son, Zack Thomas, is an All-Pro middle linebacker for
the Miami Dolphins.

wither. Whatever he does prospers.

So he came to a town in Samaria
called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob
had given to his son Joseph. Jacob's well
was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from
the journey, sat down by the well. It was
about the sixth hour. When a Samaritan
woman came to draw water, Jesus said to
her, "Will you give me a drink?" The
Samaritan woman said to him, "You are a Jew
and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask
me for a drink?" (For Jews do not associate
with Samaritans). Jesus answered her, "If
you knew the gift of God and who it is that
asks you for a drink, you would have asked
him and he would have given you living
water." "Sir," the woman said, "you have
nothing to draw with and the well is deep.
Where can you get this living water? Are you
greater than our father Jacob, who gave us
the well and drank from it himself, as did
also his sons and his flocks and herds?"
Jesus answered, "Everyone who drinks this
water will be thirsty again, but whoever
drinks the water I give him will never
thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will
become in him a spring of water welling up
to eternal life." The woman said to him,
"Sir, give me this water so that I won't get
thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw
water."
