Sneak Guest Post By John’s Wife (John Doesn’t Know I’m Here)
Just wanted to report that John made it successfully through the Easter Service, was given his new name, and is now a member of the Catholic Church.
The whole ceremony was very beautiful and went off without hitch — except for the three small boys up near the front who kept talking and making disturbances throughout the service. As the priest got ready to baptize the first person needing baptism, the littlest boy called out loudly: “When is this going to be over?” Luckily, the priest had a sense of humor. He smiled sympathetically
Wonder what kind of mother lets her children behave so badly? Wish I’d had a chance to talk to her! I’d have given her a piece of my mind!…Oh, wait. Those were my kids, weren’t they?
Still, wonderful day for John. His face was shining.
