THEME:
In one short moment life was transformed when Jesus and a woman encountered each other at a well in Sychar.
Israel and God recalibrated thier relationship as Israel camped at a dry well in Relphidem.
In both stories, the practical needs of life mingled with the spiritual needs, and covenants were formed.
