We had a baptism ceremony this morning at church.
Of all the things we do, baptisms may very well be my favorite. There are a lot of neat things we do in church, but baptisms stand alone to me as something special and unique.
Membership ceremonies are nice--what pastor doesn't want to add members to the church (s)he pastors?
Baby dedications are fun, too.
Mother's Day, Father's Day, Grandparents' Day... Check, check, and check.
But baptisms are like bringing new babies home from the hospital. New birth. New babies. New members of the family.
Each person that stands in that tank is a life that Jesus has touched and changed for eternity.
One of the great privileges of my life is to be a part of that ceremony.
Today was even more special than usual, though... My youngest daughter was one of the 7.
And it was my great thrill to baptize her!
