Great spot! Sunshine, light breeze, scenery (get it?).
Beverages, snacks, scenery --
all become the point,
the
reason to be, there.
Gotta be there! Who’d miss it? The place to
be! They’re all there!
Healing? An after thought.
Observation
for troubled water? An interference with hanging out, a tampering with
the mood.
A request for
assistance? A little self reliance please ---just roll in, you’ll be a better man for it.
Don’t mess with
this!
This is our thing!
Nothing against healing . . . my way!
Now
move! You’re blocking the scenery.
John 5:2-9
(KJV) Now there is at
Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew
tongue Bethesda, having five porches.
{3} In these lay a great multitude of impotent
folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.
{4} For an angel went
down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water:
whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was
made whole of whatsoever disease he had.
{5} And a certain man was there, which had an
infirmity thirty and eight years.
{6} When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had
been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made
whole?
{7} The impotent
man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put
me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before
me.
{8} Jesus saith
unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
{9} And immediately the man was made whole, and
took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.-
