Today was the celebration of Cooper’s Baptism.  For many, this is a celebration of a child’s entry into the church family.  Others are more strict in the belief that Baptism represents the cleansing of sin and the representation that God forgives all sins.  When I was young and first going through Confirmation classes, I’d often ask how it’s possible that a young baby could even sin.  Is it possible that such innocence could contain evil?  Now, after four years dedicated to the service of Fatherhood, I can pronounce to you that it is entirely possible!  You look at Cooper in his “preacher” pose and you see the face of an angel who seemingly is dedicating his life to the service of God.  What you don’t see is his left hand is wielding a blue crayon and he’s fully committed to decorating the church with his “style.”  Baptism is a great tradition and one that I’m thankful my boys have continued.
