Baptismal Anchor

At one point in my life I had considered joining the Baptist Church. For those of you who don't know, the Baptists practice total body immersion to baptize a person.

Luckily I even knew a minister in that faith, having dated his daughter, and I asked him if he would consider performing the service.

He paused a minute or two, gave me a long thoughtful look and said, "Ray, if you're serious about this, a dipping just won't do it for you. We'll have to find a place to anchor you overnight."
