I was at a baptism one time where the people being baptized (baptizees?) had adhesive name tags. When they came out of the water, their nametags had soaked off, so when it was done there were ten or fifteen name tags floating on top of the water. It was an interesting picture of the idea of "dying to self", but I've noticed as well in my experience as a follower of Jesus that I become more uniquely myself as I follow him. The life of faith is full of tensions, this is the tension of conformity vs. individuality.

The night where we did all those baptisms after the HisEcho event there were all those name tags in the water. I took a picture of it. I will have to find it. I thought it was awesome also. The symbolism was pretty amazing. Thanks for sharing this.
