My Journey
Babies at Church Come in Groups
Sunday, Mar. 23, 2003 @ 12:04 p.m.

Today we had our second infant baptism at church in three weeks. It makes me kind of sad, since I want to imagine myself up in front watching my baby be baptized. It seems that at my church, babies come in groups. Today's baptism was the last one of the current "group" of babies. As far as I know there isn't any one currently pregnant. However I am expecting an announcement anytime from my sister-in-law who also attends my church. She told me about a month ago that she wished she was pregnant. I'm sure there will be a new group of pregnant ladies at church soon, and I really hope that I am among them.
