The Sacrament of Baptism by cdonohoue

The Sacrament of Baptism

I am sharing Tom's shot today (will upload mine in the other album). I think it is priceless. Five year old Owen needed to rest during his baptism - and, the font was right in front of him - so why not? As a ruling elder of the Presbyterian Church I was able to be a part of the proceedings. At this particular moment, I was trying to decide if I was going to laugh or grab the little devil before he pulled it over on him.

My 36 year old son, Andy, rejoined the church of his youth by Reaffirmation of Faith. His girlfriend, Gina, became a Presbyterian this morning. My heart is so very full. This is answered prayer.
Haha, kids are so innocent

Priceless, the look on your face says it all! Disapproval mixed with love and affection, he knows he can get away with it!

@jackie8 I was really trying to tell Tom to take the shot!
I can't believe that during that baptism I was thinking about wanting the shot. See how365 has changed my world!
