She was exuding energy from her spot in the pew. And the whole service was moving so I wasn't the only one jazzed Sunday, to be sure. <BR/><BR/>Sunday also happened to be the 5th anniversary of Sophie's baptism, the way the calendar rolls around. She was 4 weeks old when you baptised her, Johnny. But Sunday as we were waiting in the pew to take our place to "remember our baptism", Sophie made the sign of the cross on John's and my foreheads. She's learning by example, and what better example than her church family.<BR/><BR/>I'm so glad that she being nurtured at St. John's where her family teaches her about loving and taking care of people and who God is... so much so that she recently flung her arms wide while eating at Blue Coast Burrito and said loudly, "God loves EVERYBODY!"<BR/><BR/>That's a good message to spread to the world. Thanks for setting her on that path.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05675018187621165633noreply@blogger.com
