Theologian John Dunn shares a story of a group of sailors who reached South America after a long and treacherous journey. They entered the Amazon River, assuming it was a continuation of the Atlantic Ocean and had run out of fresh water, not realizing that they were sailing on top of one of the biggest bodies of fresh water in the world. Some of them died of thirst.

They met another ship and asked for some fresh water and were told to lower their buckets because they were sailing on fresh water.

What about you? Are you sailing on fresh water and dying of thirst? Perhaps all you have to do is lower your bucket.
