Quench your thirst — and be forgiven at the same time
A local entrepreneur hopes his company’s
bottled water will refresh - perhaps even redeem - those who drink
it.
Linden, CA - A local entrepreneur hopes his
company’s bottled water will refresh - perhaps even redeem - those who drink
it.
Wayne Enterprises is distributing Holy Drinking Water - a half-liter of reverse-osmosis purified water bottled by a Stockton company and blessed by clergy. So far, the blessings have come from Catholic and Anglican priests, but the plan is for clergy from any faith that honors holy water to offer blessings.
The Rev. Mark Smith stood in a Linden self-storage facility Feb. 21, made the sign of the cross, thanked God for the gift of water, asked that the bottled water benefit those who consume it and then blessed the 200 cases of water waiting to be shipped.
Since January, Germann has sold about 3,000 bottles of the water to individuals, with another 1,752 bottles purchased to be donated to troops in Iraq.
The True Believers, the followers who never check up on their leaders — deserve this hustle. There’s probably a waiting list of clergy who want to get in on the action.
