Living in St. Louis, where the summer heat index is usually about 105 degrees, I have to admit that I recently Googled, "how to make yourself less thirsty." You might laugh out loud at what was listed in the first hit...

1. Suck on a button or other small object. Hard candy works okay.
2. Cool off. You're body loses moisture when you sweat. So keep yourself from sweating.
3. Use your mind. Thinking of the Sahara Desert might help, but then again, thinking of a waterfall may work for you.
4. Imagine the taste of something really sour like Warhead candies. There's a good chance you'll start salivating.
5. Think of your favorite food if sour candy doesn't work for you.
6. Don't get dehydrated to begin with. You don't start feeling thirsty until your body is well on the way to dehydration.

But then I came across a statement by Jesus that made me more than curious:

"He who believes in me will never be thirsty" (John 6:35, 4:14).

I was glad to know that while a little Gatorade might solve my liquid hydration dilemma, the Son of God was offering a more permanent thirst-aid for all of my needs.
