What’s the difference? A true river flows from a certain source(s) (such as a spring, for instance) and empties into a larger body of water. The Matanzas River, however, is simply an intercoastal waterway lying between the mainland and several barrier islands, making it a sound.

“Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever.” (Psalm 136:1)

“Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord, O my soul! I will praise the Lord as long as I live...”  (Psalm 146:2)

“Sing to the Lord, bless his name; tell of his salvation from day to day. Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples! For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; he is to be feared above all gods.” (Psalm 96:2-4)

“ And God said, “Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the heavens.” So God created the great sea creatures and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarm, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.” (Genesis 1:20-21)
