Martin Luther talked about how every encounter with water was an opportunity to remember the gift of baptism. When you take your daily shower, you could think of this -- rededicating yourself to God each day. When the rains pour down leaving everything soaked, remember that God uses water to replenish life, to wash our Sin away, to quench our thirst, and to nourish the flowers that are blooming all around campus.

O God, thank you for the rain that soaks us to the bone. Thank you for the joy that wells up within us. Thank you for life, resurrection, forgiveness, and grace. AMEN.
