* JESUS, THE COLOR OF WATER? *

i read on another blog (dawn) about a book called, "the color of water- a black man's tribute to his white mother." * in one part of the book the family goes to a church that's predominantly black * in that church, all the pictures of jesus portray him as a black man * an argument ensues about what color jesus was * the author who was a little boy, then asks his mother what color she thinks jesus is * his mother replies that she believes jesus to be the color of water as he reflects those around him * he's no color & he's all colors * those of us out here crossing the line into transracial adoptions can find hope & find answers for our children in such thoughts * how neat to think of jesus as being like water & reflecting those around him * thinking of it that way, we should all strive to be as close to him as possible so he does reflect us, as he can't reflect us if we're far away from him *
