Baptism
My sweet baby was baptized yesterday, Nov 16, 2008. I thought he might be scared, but he and his other baptizees (about 7 boys ranging in age of 7-12), were excited about going through this process. It was a beautiful thing to watch their evident joy and to be witness to the beginning of their spiritual journeys.

Great News!
I have great news from this weekend. My son joined our church, made his first confession of faith and is now a candidate for baptism!!!
All praises to God!
He surprised me too. We have been talking about baptism but he kept saying he was not ready and so, we had not spoken of it in a couple weeks. Imagine my surprise when members of the children's church came over to stand before the adult congregation and MY SON was among the group. I think everybody in the building heard my holla!!!
In other news, we have decided to loc his hair!! I had (still have) some reservations, mostly due possible peer pressure and how he will handle being outside of the norm at school. He's only 7 after all.
But here's our dilemma: he doesn't want to wear it cut low (neither do I); but when it gets this length, we struggle more with the brush and comb, which usually leads to arguments in the morning (neither of us likes this). He has made references about other people he knows who are loc'd and he likes the look of it. My hair is in twists 80% of the time and I notice he likes to play in my hair too. Anyway, we were snuggling Saturday night while watching a movie and I started playing in his hair. Before I knew it, the first row was twisted and we both liked what we saw. He wanted to do the whole head, and I talked him out of it.
We spent Sunday afternoon with family and I finally gave in to the pressure; his, my sister's and nieces/nephew.
So, after some trial and error, I finally decided to start his locs with braids. Now here comes the challenge. I need research and advice now on how to maintain them, especially after the loc'ing process begins. If anyone has any suggestions or knowledge to pass on, I'll gladly receive it.
So, here's my proud boy!
