Prepare yourselves
On All Saints Sunday, I was given the gift of being able to baptize my daughter. This has been an unusually busy Monday, but look for pictures and reflections on the joyous day later this week - prepare for the unbridled cuteness of it all.

What a blessing. I had the honor of baptizing my niece and nephew. It's a connection with them I will always treasure.
I look forward to your pictures.

I love baptizing not just babies but any age

Please refrain from comments which call me stupid or irresponsible; or which insult me or others. While I enjoy disagreement and dialogue, such insulting comments will quickly be removed.
That is so nice. I'm looking forward to the pics.
Regarding your last comment, I have experienced that sort of thing too. Internet trolls abound and have quickly been deleted from my blog as well. I now must use identity verification AND askimet spam protection to keep these nasty comments away. (You would not believe the horrific things that have shown up in my moderation list).
I guess this is just a part of publishing your thoughts. Unfortunately. Please know that your real readers appreciate what you're doing and have the utmost respect for you.
Art,
Yes, it is unfortunate how common such things are. In the interest os making this blog as accessible as possible for members of Saint John, I am avoiding word verification, et. al. This individual, I think, has some good points to make. However, being insulting is not the way to get that point across.
I'll never understand why people think that insulting others is a good way to win people over to a point of view - it is an attitude that is very common in our public life right now.
And thank for your kind words. I am very appreciative of the support and dialogue with the regular readers of this blog.
By deleting my post you have made yourself MORE irrelevant. We MUST get the sacraments out of the hands of the clergy. We MUST get the sacraments out of the hands of the clergy. We MUST get the sacraments out of the hands of the clergy. The truth is hard to take, isn't it?

Linda,
You are welcome to comment here and join in the conversation. It is not what you had to say that I objected to, but the manner in which you said it. I think, if you are willing to have the conversation without insulting people on this blog, you will find that I am much more sympathetic to your perspective that you might expect - especially your frustrations with the Diocese of Texas and Bishop Wimberly.
