Most of you know I'm a pastor's daughter. If not, now you know. Anyways.
Recently we moved to Washington so that my dad could serve this parish, and we moved into the parsonage that they had available. The other day the microwave went kaputt, and while messing around there, they came across a bottle that the previous pastor that had lived here left.
According to the label on the bottle, it contains water from the Jordan River. While of course there's no way to actually prove that, the likelihood is pretty high. Though, if it is, would this water be considered "holy"? With all the history from the Bible revolving around that river, is the water just a symbol, or do you believe that the water from it actually is "holy"? I'm not asking because I'm planning on throwing it out (that would just be silly, it looks so ancient it could be an antique!), I'm curious what you're opinion on it is.
