A to Z of Thankful Me: B

A to Z Challenge, Day 2:  B

B is for Baptism, which happens at eight
(or even older, it’s never too late!)

It’s also for Books, and Bargains, and Blogging,

This was a bargain book, purchased for Grandpa (John).  He loved reading Bronc Burnett books as a kid.
And Birthdays, complete with candles for blowing!

      Thank you. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints does not baptize children before they are 8 years old, which is why I used that age in my post.

    Yes, it is never too late to be baptized: I was baptized when I was 21.

      I attended my mom's baptism, and years later, my grandma's. :-)

    I remember boys reading that type of book series when I was in elementary school.

      I remember Hardy Boys, but I wasn't familiar with Bronc Burnett.

    made me think of the Tom Swift books that I used to own.... (my mother was very much a 'enjoy the library' person, and I discovered at a very early age that sometimes a library would sell old and worn books... what an incredible idea (for my 10 year old self)... to have my own books.
    nice

    Alphabet Book is a great theme for A to Z Challenge.
    -- I was baptized at the age of 21.

    Beautifully said and enlightning. Didn't know baptizing is done when you're eight or could be done at any age. In our church (I'm Dutch reformed) we get baptized in our first year, prefably around 3 or 4 months old.... Thanks for the insight.
    For me the B stands for Books, Books, Books and more Books!!!

      It is interesting how different churches view baptism, isn't it? Eight is considered the age of accountability, when children are old enough to understand the commitment they are making and can be responsible for their actions.
      Books are wonderful!

Six Sentence Story: Twist

  An antique typewriter Each week, Denise at Girlie on the Edge blog posts a prompt word and invites bloggers to come up with a Six Sentence Story. It's a fun challenge for writers, and a delight for readers. Go over to her blog to read what others have written, and feel free to post your own story, too! This week's prompt: twist. ********************************* The kids who moved in next door were big kids--much older than her 3-year-old self--but they might be fun to play with, and as they were coming towards her, the idea of them being new friends seemed at least possible. She was rather shy, but she understood the basics of making friends, so when those neighbors crowded all around her and asked her what her name was, she didn't hesitate to answer.  She thought she had spoken loudly enough, but apparently her shyness got the best of her, because they didn't seem to have heard her.  "Twisty?" they asked, and recognizing she needed to be even louder, she ...

Ten Things of Thankful: Valentine's Day is in Spring Edition

Despite what the groundhog predicted, here in my neck of the woods we have been enjoying balmy weather.  I think the nation needs a west coast groundhog to provide the local forecast.  I've spent time in my backyard this week, pruning palms and roses, pulling weeds, and planting raspberries and lilacs.  For those of you still buried in snow, I offer a hopeful glimpse of weather to come:
