Regarding Jesus and Hot Tubs.

"A hot tub for my soul? What in the world does that even mean?"

Well, I'll tell you!

My name is Colby Todd McKeehan and every Sunday expect a post about anything ranging from Bible verses, to current events, or to really whatever is on my heart that particular week. Since this is the first official post, I will explain the meaning of the blog title and gloss over a few things I hope to accomplish as the author of this blog so that you, the reader, can fully understand just why you should join me here "in the hot tub" every Sunday for a little soul-searching and Jesus-teaching.

I don't know about you, but I freaking love hot tubs. Something about steeping myself in 102 degree Fahrenheit water for half an hour just resonates with me. My hot tub is located on the back porch of my house located in rural East Tennessee, where the cows graze on the hillsides and the cicadas sing their songs all summer long. There's no doubt in my mind that I've logged over 1,000 hours in that tub over the years. Hours of just simmering, thinking, and praying under the setting sun or the shining stars... just visualizing those Tennessee skies make me want to stop typing and run over to the tub this instant. That hot tub is where I go to have my big one-on-one's with God. When the noise of this world becomes deafening, when I have no where else to turn, and when I just want out, the hot tub becomes my oasis in the scorching desert with a direct line to He who holds all things together. The hot tub relaxes me physically, mentality, and at times spiritually. I began to wonder if and how I could share this peace with my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, so I started this blog. By preaching the gospel and offering up my prayers, messages, and advice to anyone who may need them, I believe that God could do something big.

So, I'd like to bring the spiritual aspect of the hot tub to you, dear reader. I can't bring the physical aspects to you, for that you'll have to find your own oasis. However, everyone needs a little spiritual insights and advice every now and then, and I believe that this blog can provide you with those things. So this is my formal invitation to you, reader, that you let go of the troubles and worries of the week and come on down to the Hot Tub for your Soul every Sunday, where you and I can talk about a man named Jesus, what he has done, what he is doing, and how much he loves you and I.
