My friend looks miserable . . . He is under pressure in the rat race . . . Our children's work has no workers. Then we do what is in our power to do by way of very ordinary service. Normally vines are planted, they take up water and nutrients through the roots.
Grapes are mainly water that is given a flavor.
Grape juice was then hung in skins to ferment. Normally the whole process took several months. It seems that the water in the jars did not actually change to wine till it was ready to be poured from the jugs. On another occasion one of Elisha's band of prophets died, and his widow said that her children were about to be sold a slaves. All she had was a jar of olive oil, so he told her to borrow as many jars as she could and keep pouring the oil into them.
