Coming Back
Man have I ever missed FARMStrong. And I fear I have lost my 8 wwr's. (that's bloghand for world wide readers).
Whatever the case, I'm ready to get moving again. We've been through some particularly difficult days at Asbury Seminary.
We baptized our Samuel last Sunday and I thought I would reemerge with a photo and a poem from the occasion.
The Poem is aptly titled
Baptism
Watering
the Seed
of a Word
made flesh
Liquid Love
like Spirit
pouring
Life Forever
in the field
of a
Name
We baptized Samuel along with his cousin, Chase, on the banks of the Arkansas River. Both my parents and Tiffani's parents live on the river about 2 hours apart. Tiffani's folks graciously hosted us at their home for the baptism celebration. The bridge is part of the spectacular view my parents have of the river. And doesn't the bridge make an interesting statement about baptism.
Let me know if you are still with me. posted by John David Walt | at 10/20/2006 08:59:00 PM
