Concluding services


Well, Sunday night promised to be meaningful, and it certainly was. Becky had us all bring water from our homes to pour into a large bowl. As we each poured our water in, we said a blessing. Then, each of us gave a two-minute message of peace. It was truly beautiful. After we each gave our messages, we went to the bowl and took the mixed, blessed water from it in our vessels. The whole night was so symbolic and meaningful. I loved hearing everyone's brief messages, all in one evening. The whole time we were up there, I was thinking that if there can be so many faiths represented in one room in San Angelo, TX, surely this can be done thoughout the world. I cannot wait to see this event grow year after year!
