I was baptised on Easter Sunday over thirty years' ago. It was a newly built baptistry and included a bottle of water that came from the River Jordan.

We have a sort of big paddling pool they set up, with a truly hideous ruched gold lamé skirt that goes around it. I chose to get baptised in a river at a summer church camp instead 😂 |

I know a man who builds "portable" baptistries for a living if anyone wants one! (Not particularly cheap, mind!)

Sad news about Pope Francis 😔 I've never been a fan of Roman Catholic dogma, but he seemed like a genuinely God seeking and Christ following man. It's a dangerous time for such a powerful institution to be coming under new leadership, definitely a time to pray. |

An update on my daughter. She gave birth unexpectedly last night to a little boy who was early at 35 weeks. The delivery date was due to be May 13th by C Section to tie in with her planned breast cancer treatment and surgery. I praise The Lord that both are doing well. |

Congratulations ER, to you and your daughter and family. "God's timing is perfect" sounds a bit trite, but true nonetheless. Praying the next few months go well too. |

Praise the Lord indeed, ER. Continued prayers that she's recovers quickly and the planned treatment can go ahead, and the wee bairn gains strength every day. |
