Isn’t that how the big time painters did it? They had periods…not the woman-kind but they focused on a technique or color or topic until they were either sick of it or had mastered it.
when I was baptised it was at a YMCA! Can you believe that! It was not done too well either. I was freezing to death….Not sure God liked that . lol I was also sprinkled at a child . I personally am beginning to think that is enough…Leave the baptisms to only babies…
I was sprinkled and dunked and witch crafted back to life, because my family thought I was a DOA at birth … I guess something must have worked … 57 years later I’m still here

Sometimes one way to think for ideas is to focus on one theme for a while. Next on to new things, however.

Same thing with writing. Have to grab that idea while it’s fresh and run with it as long as you can.

I understand. I used to teach in Catholic school and although a Protestant I participated in everything and sacraments too.

Never thought much about the fish perspective. Now I won’t be able to forget it! Very creative, Carl.

I guess we Baptists are bigger sinners so need more than a sprinkle.

Sinning is forgiven but that loud singing and ever long prayers have got to go.

Yes , religion can be contaminated with the pee of psychology, philosophy, humanism, secularism, archaeology….

Archimedes I think, right ? Seems all these wars are causing displacement too.
