Baptism

While we were down in Mississippi we had the boys baptised at the Collinsville Untied Methodist Church. The Church holds a lot of precious memories for me and my McPhail family. My brother and I were both Christened there, many marriages have taken place there as well as family funerals. I have put off having the boys baptised as I wanted it to be preformed at this particular Church. The family thought it was appropriate to have it the day after Bettye's service as life is all about birth and death; we celebrated both last weekend.


Since the boys were older than most children, I had to do some explaining to Grady. He had the funniest questions. "Will God be there?" "Can I talk to him?" My personal favorite, "Why are you putting that water on my head?" (that question was asked rather loudly in front of the congregation)

The pastor was warned not to try and hold Myles....just Grady. Myles would have screamed bloody murder if a stranger tried to hold him.

All the McPhail's stood with us for the Christening

"Why are you putting that water on my head?!"

Doesn't Josh look all wrapped up in what the preacher is saying? We will make a believer of him yet!
