Every season, except winter, our church has a time of fellowship and baptisms at historic Oaklawn. I was dreading this one as it was this past Sunday, and I just knew it was going to be a scorcher. Fortunately, I was wrong. The big trees provide ample shade and God provided a nice breeze. On top of that, our home group provided some great snacks. It was suppose to be bring your own picnic, but we thought we'd liven it up a bit. The Weavers brought potato salad, brownies and home made ice cream. Damien made butter pecan and chocolate cookie mint. Yum. Others brought pigs in a blanket, snadwiches, chips and a fruit plate. We were stuffed. We enjoyed the company and the conversation. We had several children get baptized and several kids wanting to get re-baptized as the cool water was so enticing.
the portable baptism
Dylan got out and did a little sight seeing. He was having so much fun, doing his favorite thing, playing outside. Mommy wasn't so keen at the end of the night when he came home battered and bruised and with a tick!!! He first fell on a light that shines on the house at night time and cut his leg. Then he was hiding behind some bushes and was running out and before I could stop him, there was a small thorn bush that of course he tripped on and found right away. Bless his heart. Then at bath time, I noticed something in his hair, I thought it was food, but it was a tick. His first, and not his last, tick! Luckily, it wasn't stuck. I hope his wounds heal soon as he looks like he got into a fight with a cat and it won.

I love it. The portable baptism is very Southern. Oaklawn is beautiful. I think that is so cool that your church does that.
