Hi, and welcome to Jesus Over Everything, a five-day-a-week variety show that mixes encouragement,

the Bible, practical how-toes, and fantastic guests for the listener on the go.

I'm Lisa Whittle, and I welcome you to just five minutes with me, which I trust and pray

will be five minutes well spent.

Friday, five-day, once again, and this one's a fun one.

You can get this at Sam's and Costco, I believe, but I ordered it off of Amazon.

It's basically an electrolyte drink mix that provides sort of the same hydration as drinking two to three bottles of water per one packet. It comes with 16 packets in one resellable bag, kind of like crystal light packets, and you dump it in a water bottle or you add it to 16 ounces of water and I got the

and so I need more hydration. I'll be honest, I don't love the taste of it. I like it okay,

but I'm also super picky and I think most people that drink it and really got the benefits of it would I like it okay, but I'm also super picky. And I think most people that
