All of a sudden, people in dress clothes surrounded us. As I looked around, a man in a t-shirt and shorts jumped into the river. Next, two people in robes jumped into the river.
Splash! Sploosh! Dunk! Then, they jumped out and there were gone. It was a baptism in the river. If you blinked, you would have missed it. I do not think the kayakers even noticed!
It was a blessed event on a beautiful day on the banks of the San Marcos river. This is the river where I worship. If you ever need to see God's plan, come visit me. I will show you the wonders of a spring-fed river.

This is an amazing sight. There's nothing quite like watching people publicly, sincerely, humbly commit to what they believe in. We've seen this on the Housatonic River and at Sherwood Island Park on Long Island Sound. It's heart-stoppingly beautiful.
As is your river. What a wonder. God bless.
Beautiful images!!! I've always wanted to live along the river :)
Happy BYB Sunday!
I really enjoy attending river baptisms. Probably because Jesus was baptized in a river, but I just seem to feel the presence of the Spirit more.
Thanks for sharing and the pictures are a blessing to view.
We gotta visit you... and yup, see the river!
I wish I could witness something like that. And, like Sue, I , to, have always wished to live along the river.
Have a great week ahead!
What a neat accidental catch! I love rivers also -- just beautiful and certainly a blessing too!
@sandy-Isn't it cold in the Sound? Brrr.
@sue-Come see me when y'all get teh bus.
@nellie-thanks for stopping by and commenting. I appreciate it.
@matthew-did you read my comment to Sue?
@neo-Faith makes people glow, have you noticed?
It's good to know the river is useful for other things other than kayaking. Great view.
