Small Town's Residents Embark on Desert Adventure

by Greg Miller  
1/26/2015 / Humor





By Greg Miller 2015



Several residents of a small town near a large sandy desert decided to trek through an uninviting desert terrain.



Each participant insisted on walking alone. Since the desert was owned by the town, the municipality used the large arid plot of ground to increase its tax revenue. Each person who crossed the desert was required to pay 10 dollars for the privilege. Roy, the town's tax collector, maintained a small office near the desert.

Regina chose Monday for her trek. The man-made desert was designed to be traversed in a single day, offering a challenging and gratifying experience. After about two hours, Regina became very thirsty. Directly ahead of her, she noticed an unusual looking vending machine offering free sodas. She pushed the button to get her drink, which plummeted to the bottom of the machine.



Regina popped the tab at the top of the pink can and tasted her drink. She quickly spat the hot liquid into the burning sands. "Disgusting!" she exclaimed.



Royce chose Tuesday for his adventure. After about four hours, he thought, "I sure would enjoy a tall glass of orange juice." To his surprise, he noticed an orange vending machine a few steps ahead.



Royce pushed the button to get his free drink. He was amazed to discover the can was filled with ice cold orange juice. Although the juice was cold and tasty, for some reason, the juice didn't satisfy his thirst.



Randy's desert trip was on Wednesday. Randy had owned a ranch close to the town and the desert for several years, but had not yet donned his desert walking clothes. "I've been too busy running the ranch," he told Roy.



Randy didn't get thirsty until he had walked all the way across the desert. He noticed a big brown vending machine with a beautiful glass of iced tea on the front. Like Regina's soda, Randy's tea was undrinkable.



Thursday was Roby's desert adventure day. After about 30 minutes, Roby became extremely thirsty. "I sure would like to have a cup of cool, clear water," he said.



Instantly, a vending machine appeared in front of Roby who, like the other desert travelers, pushed the button for his drink. Roby's unlabeled can was filled with cool, refreshing water. Roby drank about one-third of the water immediately, then poured the rest of the life-saving drink into his canteen.



"I'll drink a small sip of water every few minutes, and I'll be as cool as a cucumber by the time I get back to my car," thought Roby, while breathing a silent prayer of thanks.



Recalling that Jesus is the water of everlasting life, Roby prayed, "Thank you, Father, for providing that constant supply of cool, refreshing water that will refresh me for eternity!"
