jer and ben and the Jordan


jer and ben and the Jordan

By Canadian standards, the Jordan is not a river. It's more of a muddy stream, especially in these years of drought. It's also a strange mix of the sacred and profane - a kibbutz has made a cottage industry of Jordan river baptisms, but alternately, down the road you can go to Abu Kayak and experience another kind of immersion. I love the name Abu Kayak. There was hardly any current but we still managed to lose an oar, so Jeremy got baptised after all.
