Water to Face

A particularly good sermon at Rez yesterday evening, and definitely worth your time if you give it a listen at the website. It's not up yet, but likely will be later this week.

A highlight: Our English pastor reminded us of Martin Luther's admonition to remember our baptism whenever we wash our faces. Jesus Christ identified with us in His baptism, and we, members of His church and body, identify with Him in ours. Whatever failure, whatever lost cause, whatever hurt, whatever success - we are identified with the one person who truly succeeded. We remember, every morning, when the water touches our face, Who we belong to, even as the day's events approach swiftly, like a distant wave in the ocean.

This is even better than Jessica's now famous "daily affirmation."
