To train our students in the
methods and skills they’ll
need when they’re on the
job market as archaeologists
(yes—there is one! And, yes,
you can make a living at it!).
The other part of course,
is to try and tell if the items
from this area were indeed
just dropped in an open
area close to the old Law-
ton Road. . . or were they
dropped inside a structure?
Around a fire pit used
by Union or Confederate
pickets?
Compared to the 30cm
round hole from a metal
detector hit, the 200 by
200-centimeter square of a
unit gives us a wider view—
a window into the past
instead of a keyhole. And
our meticulous excavation
process—digging in 10cm
layers at a time—helps us to
really spot the past looking
back at us from the earth’s
layers.
Our students made great
progress, and we’re already
finding ceramics in higher
quantities, and glass, and
of course, nails within our
‘science’ box. As we head
into next week, we’ll see
what the next layers show—
every scrape of the shovel
and trowel takes us deeper,
and every few centimeters in
depth takes us further back
in time.
Our tools are time ma
chines, archaeological

more of the story of what

Road on a cold, rainy day in

WORDS

death.
Here’s the bottom line. A
clean and ordered life does
not get you to Heaven, but
a life filled with Jesus does.
What does a life filled with
Jesus mean? It means letting
Jesus into your life, giving
Him full control over your
heart and life, and letting
Him lead you. In Revela
tion 3:20 Jesus says, “See! I
stand at the door and knock.
If anyone hears my voice
and opens the door, I will
come into him and eat with
him, and he with me.” A
life filled with Jesus does
not start with an OCD level
of cleaning and ordering
your house (life), but with
opening the door and letting
Jesus in. Jesus loves you
right in the middle of all
your mess and brokenness,
and when we let Him in, He
does the work of bringing
healing, cleaning, and order
to our lives. If you hear His
voice calling and His hand
knocking on the door of
your heart, put down the
Lysol and bleach and let
Him in.
Let’s pray, “Jesus please
do your work in the lives
of those reading this today.
Help us not to believe the lie
that we can clean ourselves
up or cause any good change
through hard work alone.
What we need most of all
is a relationship with You.
If you are knocking on the
door of anyone’s heart,
please don’t stop knocking
and help them to surrender
and open the door. In Jesus’s
name. Amen.”

think that all would agree
the concept of Christ dwell
ing in us and us dwelling in
him is a beautiful image.
During the Episcopal
communion service, as the
priest is preparing the bread
and the wine, you may see
them pour a little bit of
water into the chalice with
the wine. This symbolic
practice dates to as early as
the 4th century. There are
varied explanations given
for doing so ranging from
the practical to the spiritual.
For instance, it was common
practice to dilute wine with
water in the 1st century to
the water before drinking it.
Symbolically, it is a remind
er of the blood and the water
that flowed from Jesus when
the Roman centurion pierced
his body on the cross.
The explanation for mixing
water with the wine that I

didn’t even curse! The
Jackie Gleason Show and
Red Skelton Hour were my
favorites, as well as Candid
Camera. Flip Wilson was
pretty good too. When Don
and I weren’t watching TV,
we would listen to Bill Cos
by’s album “To Russell My
Brother Who I Slept With”.
You know, I didn’t sleep
alone until I was married, so
I could really identify with
Cosby sharing a room with
his little brother.
The one thing I try to pass
on to my granddaughters and
other young people, is that if
you only watch television,
you are telling Hollywood
screenwriters they have a
better imagination than you
do. Not me; I am always dis
appointed in how people and
things are depicted in mov
ies. I’d rather be reading.
find to be the most mean
ingful comes from one of
the early church bishops,
Cyprian. He identified the
representation of the wine as
the blood of Christ and the
water as humanity. Mixing
the water in the wine, hu
manity in the blood of Jesus,
both become one.
The wine/blood of Christ
is of great worth, and water/
humanity is quite common.
In mixing water with wine,
humanity in the blood of
Christ, we too become of
great worth. Additionally,
once the water is mixed
with the wine, they become
inseparable. He in us and us
in him.
As you continue on your
Lenten journeys, may you
grow and deepen in your
relationships with Christ as
we await his resurrection on
Easter.
