pam Posted June 10, 2013 Report Posted June 10, 2013 Congratulations to you. I would have loved to have been there but...it was all dependent on what scheduled I was assigned for Monday. Unfortunately it didn't work out. But I seriously was thinking about you. Quote

slamjet Posted June 10, 2013 Report Posted June 10, 2013 (edited) Thank you all. This has become, by far, the most spiritual experience I've had in life thus far. I also find it amazing how much different I feel today than from two day's ago. The difference between the Light of Christ and the Gift of the Holy Ghost is not a small difference. But the immersion part was interesting. The first time I wasn't completely under (something about my elbow sticking up). So, we (dad and I) tried again. I'm a big guy so as I'm kneeling and leaning back the second time, I felt my dad SHOVING on me to get me completely under the water. So while I'm under, I give up on being graceful and kick my feet out from under me and lie down. So now I go straight to the bottom with my dad changing from shoving me under to trying to pull me out. I reached out and grabbed the safety rail and pulled myself out. This all happened within milliseconds, it was hilarious and it got the job done. Backroads: Wow, use me and then dump me. Now I'm no longer interesting and useful. For shame Edited June 10, 2013 by slamjet Quote

No one realized it at the time, but the water in the baptismal font was ICE COLD. DH and our friend who was baptizing him went into the water and the baptism was performed, but during the event DH's feet slipped out from under him and started to float up to the surface. Our friend later said that he thought to himself, "I am NOT doing this again!!" and shoved DH down to make sure he was all the way under. Neither of you will ever be able to say your baptism was boring, lol! Quote
