Go Jump in the Jordan River
When you read about the Jordan River in the Bible you easily imagine a massive body of water that crossing it takes a bridge or a miracle (Joshua 3). But when you look at today’s Jordan River, even way up north near its source, you have to conclude that this river had to a have shrunk tremendously, or folks back in biblical times were terrified of water.
The current gets pretty strong in places, though, so you do need to know how to swim.
Perfect solution for the heat on a mid-August day.
