Water.

Ok I have an idea. Alright it's not really my idea, I stumbled across this one at the gym, but it's cool none the less. And it requires your participation! It will be painful, but in the end it is totally worth it. I promise this isn't one of the many bizarre Easton ideas either, so keep reading. First you will need a empty gallon of milk container, or what ever you call those things, half gallon will work too, as long as it's plastic. Rinse it out really good. Now put water in it. Put it in the fridge for at least a day. You could skip the milk container and just put a glass of water in the fridge, but I have a feeling you might need more then a glass :) Alright now go and exercise. If you don't normally exercise, awesome. You have a head start. Running is good, or rowing, or anything that will get up your pulse rate and make you out of breathe. I happened to be rowing, but it could have been anything really. Ok now your going to need to push it. If you feel like you are at your limit, keep going. Music is a good motivator, so if you have some, pull out that one song that you have with the driving beat that lasts for 8 minutes. WARNING: (there is a point where you will throw up, I'm not saying to go there, that will ruin everything, but don't convince yourself that you are there when you really aren't. You know what I mean. cool.) Ok now that you are convinced in you mind that you are actually dying of thirst, go drink some of that chilled water. yeeeaah. tastes good doesn't it. It doesn't even have a taste but it is so satisfying, so refreshing. And it is all you mind can think about in the moment. Ok now go get a bible and read John 4:13-15, John 6:35, and John 7:37.

Here is John 4:13-14
"Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again,14 but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."

Don't just read it and think about what it means. Do something, Experience it.

This post made me lol. I love analogies that totally make sense and that I identify with.
