Touching wet ground

I came across this quote this morning from Henri Nouwen and I stopped to listen...I touched wet ground,

"Every time you listen great attentiveness to the voice that calls you the Beloved, you will discover within yourself a desire to hear that voice longer and more deeply. It is like discovering a well in the desert. Once you have touched wet ground, you want to dig deeper."

I want our students to graduate having heard this call and then walk into college with the desire to dig deeper. But I wonder how many times our students have touched wet ground when we've gathered on Wednesdays and Sundays?
