baptism

Standing in front of a body of Believers, about to be immersed in water, people acquire a sense of transparency, I think. Their words and thoughts turn upward and valuable.

And the symbolism, the commitment of it all gets me emotional. During "I Will Know Him," my eyes filled with tears to think of Jesus. During a couple's testimonies, I was repetitively wiping my eyes.

"Buried in the likeness of his death; raised in the newness of his ressurection." Amen and amen.

Baptized and shiny.
