Baby Dedication

[Cow Poke]

We had a baby dedication at Church today. Little fella was SO cute, and not quite 1 year old.

When I had the family come up front, I took the baby and held him in my arms, and he just nestled in against me and seemed so comfortable.

When I put my hand on his head to pray the blessing on him, he buried his head in my neck/shoulder til I was done praying, like he actually knew what was going on.

I preached about the various interactions of Jesus with children, and his stern rebuke of his disciples not to stand in the way of Children coming to Him.

The service turned out WAY better than even I had imagined. It was a wonderful morning!

Awwww....

So, no stranger/separation anxiety? That is nice. Or the baby can tell you are a good person. I think little children would like Jesus.

Dogs and children have always liked me. Jake is my wife's dog, but he always hangs with me. In MOST instances, I can take a crying baby from a frustrated mom and calm him/her down almost immediately. (the baby, not the mom ) (but, then again, when the baby stops crying, the mom usually calms down, too)

Well, that's great! Have you ever heard of dogs and babies liking bad people?

Yeah, try dripping water on his little head and see how long that lasts...




























Seriously, nice story.

Jake seems to be a pretty good judge of character that way. He really didn't like my former son-in-law at all. But if I tell Jake that somebody (like the DirecTV guy who was here) is "OK", Jake just goes back to his chair and crawls up in it for a nap.

Not. Funny.

Well, since we don't baptize infants.... but I DID hear that your pastor was advised, when he was about to baptize you, "hold him under til he bubbles, then keep holding him down til he stops".

(I think that was Mom who told Rev Schnockerburger to do that )

Not. Funny.

Yes. It really was.

unbannibatable.

And CBW, obviously we're not being serious.

The real reason Baptists - who will otherwise dunk anyone in sight - don't believe in paedo-baptism is that they are scared of the little fellows returning the favor.

I remember when my girl was dedicated, she was eating one of those Num-Nums, or something. She had just turned 1. The pastor took her to pray over her and she kept trying to give him a bite of her treat.

I think I have a picture of it somewhere.......
