I'm reading in Joshua 3 and I come across these verses:
"Now the Jordan is at flood stage all during harvest. Yet as soon as the priests who carried the ark reached the Jordan and their feet touched the water's edge, the water from upstream stopped flowing. It piled up in a heap a great distance away, at a town called Adam in the vicinity of Zarethan, while the water flowing down to the Sea of the Arabah (the Salt Sea) was completely cut off. So the people crossed over opposite Jericho. The priests who carried the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood firm on dry ground in the middle of the Jordan, while all Israel passed by until the whole nation had completed the crossing on dry ground."
When I saw those words I knew Joshua had to be from The South. Who else would call all of that backed-up water up a "heap"? I could just hear him, "Hoooowdy boys, look at that heap of water! That's some pile of water, ain't it!"
And I realize that only God can make a heap of water. I've piled a lot of stuff in heaps in my life, but I've never managed to pile water in a heap.
