More Than a Pretty View

Fish Creek Falls, Steamboat Springs, Colorado

Nothing takes our breathe away like the ocean, a raging river and a cascading waterfall . They cast a spell over us to the point we lose track of time as we sit and soak up their beauty.

Not only do they cast a spell over us, but they also possess power. Fish Creek Falls, outside of Steamboat Springs, is a commanding waterfall. The power of this waterfall is constantly changing the landscape over which it flows.

Waterfalls are amazing displays of power.

"Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?  We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life." Romans 6:3-4 English Standard Version

I can't think of anything more powerful than being connected to the death and resurrection of Jesus. When God attaches his name to the water of baptism it changes the landscape of our lives.
  • Drowning to the egotistical beast that sin has made me.
  • Resuscitated by the life giving Spirit to live a new life in the world...today.
There is power in the water.
