We had a very happy morning at church today. A particular highlight of the service was Matthew McPhee's baptism. Matthew was completely at ease during the baptism and spent a large part of the time having a splash about in the font. He was enjoying the water so much that I think I put a good deal more water over his head during his baptism than I would normally do, but he just took the whole experience in his stride. I am always in a bit of a quandry as to how much water I should put on a baby's head for baptism! My instinct is not to use too much for fear of upsetting the child. I wonder what would happen if I did this.
