going under...

I had the opportunity to baptize a friend at church last night. Just a few others were there with us at the church building. Unfortunately, David was pretty tall, the water level was pretty low, and my waders were pretty loose. So, as David was dying to self, I was filling up my rubber pants with water. The water level was much lower when I left. But I did get to wear a nice, white baptismal outfit for the remainder of the evening.

On a serious note, this is the tenth baptism our little country church has enjoyed since January. We have been richly blessed... but the busy baptistry is in need of a refill, especially since a substantial amount of water remains in the rubber boots at the bottom of the rubber suit I was wearing!!!
