PaD: Water

The word for today, Sunday, April 14, is water.  When I saw that the word "water" fell on a Sunday, I thought it would be cool if I could get a picture of a baptism today.  I was not surprised (well, maybe a little) when the pastor said there would be two baptisms today.  If you ever wondered if God has a sense of humor or cares about the little things, let me assure you, HE DOES.

I don't think the water "saves" you or why would Jesus have needed to be baptized.  I believe immersion in baptism is an outward expression of the inward repentance that has already taken place in your heart.  Being buried under the water and being resurrected into a new life is a wonderfully simple yet profound thought.  Kind of like water itself.  We take water for granted; yet, we cannot live without it.
