As I mentioned elsewhere, I’ll be baptizing my first batch of babies this Sunday.

There will be 10, including one set of twins.

My wife has generously offered to give me a hand (as “minister of the towel,” among other things).

Coincidentally, today I was sent the picture on the left, from my nephew’s wedding earlier this month. That nephew, Frank, was a ringbearer in our wedding 21 years ago; at HIS wedding, I served as deacon and offered the nuptial blessing. It was truly a “circle of life” moment, and a great thrill for me.

In the picture, you can see my wife and me at the reception, with her brother’s twin daughters.

You can also see, clearly, that kids love me.
