Baptism of Jesus is like a tie-dyed t-shirt

Jesus Baptism: Mark 1:9,

In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. 10 And just as he was coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens torn apart and the Spirit descending like a dove on him. 11 And a voice came from heaven, “You are my Son, the Beloved; with you I am well pleased.

As I was packing supplies …and specifically craft and art supplies for our trip to CHE, …knowing that water was our theme…my conscience said, “You can’t take tie-dye to Nuevo Laredo. It’s a place where it is dry and water can be scarce ...and water pressure at the orphanage can sometimes be very low. And then that inner prayerful thought, which can be called the Holy Spirit, said, “Of course you take tie-dye! …That’s the whole point J The children will love it…it will be a reminder to them how much they are loved by God and how we are all living in community even though we are over 1200 miles away.”

Baptism was going on long time before John baptized Jesus. Baptism is about water… water is cleansing.  As we bathe in water it washes away dirt. When we say “I’m sorry for our wrong doings and let go of things that keep us from God…we feel better, we feel clean. Another word, for this is repentance. That’s what John the Baptist was up to.

Paint a Joyful Noise...the Art of Living

“Paint” a Joyful Noise to the Lord…the Art of Living

Psalm 100

Have you heard the song, “Happy”, by Pharrell Williams from the movie Despicable Me 2?  “Because I’m Happy”…to me that’s what Psalm 100 is all about! When you’re happy…thank God and make a joyful noise!

“Because I’m happy

Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof

Because I’m happy

Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth”
