as one who, when a teen, was pulled from a pool by a guard and resuscitated (Lord, bless Sue St. John), i’d never imagined the moment of Jesus’ immersion as opening on to / touching all who have nearly or actually died by drowning—seeing and holding them in their distress. i also immediately thought of a man whose wedding I officiated who, in the Boxing Day tsunami, as he was helping others get to higher ground, was swept away and died, only to be found a week later by his son—a full kilometer into the Thai jungle. touched and immensely grateful, Tania.

My goodness. This is wonderful, Tania. How do you manage a measure of snark alongside such visceral heartbreak (as these comments testify) and then a bit of glorious trinitarian theology to top it off?!
