Water is central to the creation story. Rivers in the Garden of Eden; Jesus' ministry begins in a baptism in the river of Jordan. How in the very end of the biblical story with a river running through the city nourishing the Tree of Life. Water is holy, it is what brings life. Baptism is the initial welcoming act of celebration of a person coming into community of faith. I want to remember my baptism all the time, because it was in my baptism that I am claimed by God and marked with the sign of the Holy Spirit.
