The dusk light is beautiful, fading.  The children are buring each other in the sand and a little girl is sprinkling the faces and hair of those being buried by dipping a bud-lite can in the surf.

At the end she runs  into the water and when she came out of the water she said, I got my whole self wet!

That is how I feel about baptism, about Jesus, about God’s boundless love.

I want to rush into it and get my whole self wet!
