that was great! so, as a pastor, what would your response be to that aaron? similarly to me when i was little, taking communion ’cause i liked grape juice, this kid likely doesn’t quite understand what he’s being baptized into. in your opinion, would you have him wait?
i probably would have laughed a great deal… maybe even given the kid a ‘high-five’… then another part of me thinks i would be absolutely horrified and dead-faced… so, i’m not really exactly sure how i’d respond but it’s certainly a funny situation.
i don’t think that just because a kid does a cannonball into the baptistry doesn’t mean he doesn’t get it. if i knew the kid i could probably make a better assessment, but i figure i’d give this kid the benefit of the doubt and say he’s probably just a goof ball and wanted to have some fun. he certainly spiced baptisms up, and set the bar pretty high for anyone else that would follow!
What's this?
