. I REMEMBER AS A BOY GOING WITH MY GRAND DAD TO AN OLD GRIST MILL ON THEN SALADO CREEK, WITH A BIG WATERWHEEL THAT TURNED WITH THE WATER FROM THE CREEK.

I. GRAND DAD WENT THERE TO HAVE HIS CORN GROUND INTO CORN MEAL AND ONE MORNING WE DROVE TO THE MILL AND THE WATERWHEEL WAS NOT TURNING BECAUSE THERE WAS ONLY A SLIGHT TRICKLE OF WATER.

J. THE MILLER KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM UPSTREAM, BECAUSE THERE WASN’T ENOUGH WATER TO TURN THE BIG WHEEL, SO HE AND GRANDAD WALKED UP THE CREEK,

1. UNTIL THEY FOUND THE DEBRIS THAT HAD DAMMED UP THE WATER.

2. DID YOU KNOW THAT’S TRUE SPIRITUALLY??

K. IF THERE IS SOMETHING HAYWIRE IN YOUR LIFE, YOU NEED TO GO UPSTREAM AND CLEAR AWAY THE DEBRIS, LIKE JEALOUSY, MEDIOCRITY, IMMATURITY AND SOUR ATTITUDES, SO THERE WILL BE POWER IN YOUR LIFE AGAIN
