"Interesting choice of names ... sprinkle some on "Bubba" (Clinton) ... then duck-n-cover!"
Probably do a pretty good imitation of the Wicked Witch of the West at the end of the Wizard of OZ.

Loving readings on the importance of water in the Christian faith.

yup....and then it gets hit by lightning. Seriously. Blew out all four tires and the radio. My dad's response, "think what would have happened if we hadn't asked God to bless it."

Seriously, my atheistic brother was coming to stay with us and I sprinkled Holy Water all around the room he would be staying in. We had a wonderful time with no arguments about religion and he's come back 2 more times to voluntarily help us put in an irrigation system.

I think Catholic and Orthodox churches should have those misting machines in the summertime to cool down passersby but also to douse them with Holy Water!!!!

Holy water fonts for the home come in all sizes and shapes, some tacky and plastic, others quite lovely and made of alabaster, marble, porcelain, sandstone, or metals -- as inexpensive or as expensive as you like -- some resting on tables, most hanging on walls (one example is shown at right). You can buy one from most Catholic gift shops or make your own (consider using bivalve seashells as basins, or the shell motif in design. The seashell is a very ancient symbol of Baptism, and the shells of large molluscs -- weighing up to 500 pounds -- have been used in churches as basins for holy water). Tip: putting a thin sponge inside the font is said to make the water evaporate less quickly.**********
What a lovely idea.
