Baptized!

So, I finally did it. I always wanted to get Baptized, but was looking for a reason to do so. I always thought it would be a woman who would get me into church for it, but it wasn’t. It was my nephew.
My nephew Jeremy was getting Christened, and Bo and Missy wanted me to be Jeremy’s GodFather. Ideally, a Godparent is a baptized Christian himself. But I had not made that commitment yet. But the good news is that I was (easily) convinced by some people I am comfortable with: Missy, and Rev. Doug Wigner.
Doug performed Bo and Missy’s wedding ceremony. He’s also on the Board of Trustees at VTS (where I used to work). I’d see him 3 or 4 times a year at VTS, and was always impressed by how friendly he was. So, when he offered to Baptize me and Jeremy at the same time, I jumped at the opportunity. I’m glad I did.
I still need to find a Church to frequent up here in Northern Virginia. I’m considering going to Julia’s Church one Sunday to check it out. The way she describes it, it’s easily a cool church and a place I would enjoy.
Even still, I have a bond with Jeremy now that not too many people can claim — we were baptized together. And we’ll both eventually end up in a better place.
