As Christians we often struggle to find a balance between our secular and spiritual lives. This struggle can leave us feeling confused, disappointed, and troubled. We find ourselves questioning our place in the world, and we sometimes turn away from God, searching for answers in all the wrong places. However, with God's guidance, the answer is often found within the struggle itself. Our book speaks to people who are searching for meaningful and practical insight on how to follow God's word in their daily lives. The reflections provide a deeper understanding of scripture, while serving as a catalyst for love, hope, and peace to a broken world. Although intended for a Christian audience, the reflections offer relevant interpretations of scripture to all people, especially as they face personal struggles in their ever-changing lives. Unique in style, the reflections provide imaginative narratives and practical lessons that linger in the heart and mind. Although they follow the liturgical calendar, each one stands on its own and can be read at any time throughout the year.

This report describes the geology of the central Virgin River basin in southwestern Utah, and characterizes the structure and lithology of the Jurassic Navajo Sandstone and the thickness and stratigraphy of Quaternary-late Tertiary unconsolidated deposits, the two main aquifers in the region. Southwestern Utah has experienced rapid population growth and increased demand on water supplies during the past 15 years, and the purpose of this report is to better define the ground-water resources of the area. Ground water provides approximately half of the public water supply in southwestern Utah, so future decisions regarding water use must be based on careful geologic characterization of the aquifers and their relation to the regional hydrologic system. The results of this study will be applied to ground-water modeling, evaluating regional and local hydrogeologic conditions, and assessing sites for development of ground water. 53 pages + 7 plates
