Baptism

So yesterday I went on a looooong run. Mainly to clear my mind but also because our first family vacation is a month away. When I run for some reason my mind just feels settled when I'm done. I really should run more often. When I got back Madi and Mason were playing in the sprinkler and there little pool. I couldn't help myself, I jumped in clothes and all! Ohhh yea...phone too! So my phone has a mind of it's own now. Anyways while I was sitting in their pool cooling off Madi took a bucket of water and dumped it over Masons head and she said "I baptize you in the name of the father.." and then she took a second bucket of water dumped it over his head and said "In the name of the son..." and then Mason took off running and she chased after him with the third bucket of water and she threw it at him and shouted "And in the name of the holy spirit!!!" It was soooooooooo CUTE! She looked at me and said "What?? Mason baptized me too!" So I said to her, "Madi, would you like to be baptized?" And she replied with a very excited "YES!" I'm so proud of her. I asked her "Do you know what being baptized means?" and she said "Yea, it means that I love Jesus and God." So sweet!

  2. I laughed really really loud! But also...I was very proud. Opened up a whole conversation about the meaning of baptisms. It was great! Especially since I just learned a few years ago, when Arden & I were baptized, what it meant.
