Tomorrow, 3
August, is the 30th anniversary of my baptism.
You can see posted on our basement door the shirt I was wearing for the
ceremony. It looks as good as the day I
got it! (It has often been forced to
escape the pleas of my wife to pay an eternal visit to the rubbish bin.)
It is also
the feast day for St. Lydia, whose story is told in Acts 16, where she assists
Paul, Silas, and their friends.
And she is
noted for her dealings in purple cloth, giving her wealth with which
May all of the baptized follow her lead in all dimensions
of life, and be immersed in purple rain.
(Sorry, I had to steal that last one!)
