Today my youngest grand child will be baptized into a community of believers. It is interesting how this ritual has changed for me since my own children were baptized. Although I have stood on the side of the community and welcomed a child, there was message between the lines in my welcome. It was welcome to THIS community. How could I have thought in such a small way, when God is so BIG.

This baptism is not about a few splashes and one community. It is about a waterfall that never quits flowing. It is about great sheets of water falling great distances. It’s about millions of droplets and a community of believers that goes outside a single building and past a city beyond a country and into the universe.

Today my youngest grand child is baptized and the water flows forever.
