Emphasis Preaching Journal

Appearances can be deceiving. Naaman was not impressed by the Jordan River, preferring the rivers of Damascus instead. No doubt, neither would the muddy, mighty Red River of the North have impressed him as it meanders along the border of North Dakota and Minnesota, flowing northward for over 500 miles into Lake Winnipeg, Canada.

The Red River is one of the top 25 purest rivers in America.
