The waters will hold you up!

All smiles.. at 8 months old.

Pastor Dad splashed Simba pretty good but she was unfazed by all the water!

Today we had the pleasure of standing up in front of our community and making public our intention to raise Simba in a certain path. It was a good day, similar to Nemo's baptism a few years ago. What I wrote then is still certainly true. I see baptizing babies as a way to form a covenant with God and to be held accountable to that decision. Our community welcomes in adults, adolescents and children warmly. But is also true that we are making a decision for our daughter, one that she may choose to embrace or reject as she gets older. Which will be her choice, hopefully guided by God's presence in her life. I look forward to seeing what decisions both of our girls make as they get older. I'm sure that they will be interesting!
