You add water baptism, a communal act that wets the skin but washes the spirit. ~ Jo Helen Cox, manuscript of GOD MAKES US HOLY: A SIMPLE GUIDE TO REDEMPTION, REGENERATION, AND SANCTIFICATION
How dusty is your spirit?
When did you last clean it,
buff it up, consider it?
How can you wash your spirit?
A retreat with recovery people?
One of those meetings that sizzles,
sparkles, leaves everyone tingling?
A walk in nature, a quiet time
surrounded by music, by aromas,
by majesty? Surrounding yourself
with loving people, perhaps by being one?
By taking time for the eternal,
the internal, the inherently good.
By loving yourself, by letting others love in,
by cleansing thoughts, actions, habits.
By living in serenity, surrounded by peace.
