the best wine

I was reading in John 2 this morning, where the Lord turned the water into wine -- His first miracle.

Wine is often a picture of joy in the Bible ... and aren't there times in OUR lives where the wine runs out, just like it did at this wedding in Cana? Sometimes even when there is every reason for joy (as there was at the wedding), our joy will still run dry.

If we offer Him whatever's left ... the water in the wash-pots, He can make it joyous. And His joy comes in unexpected ways, overwhelming quantities, and quality that excells what we can get on our own. It also comes at the end of things ... sometimes there's a bit of lean-ness to go through first.

Exercise-wise, I got to the gym last night for a good, long while.
