    WWJD or "It's my party, and I'll bitch if I want to"

    How is it even possible to hijack a Christening? Were they trying to go all John-The-Baptist on you and serve locusts & wild honey at the afterparty? Emily Post & Miss Manners are great on how to host a swoiree, but this isn't a graduation party, baby shower or Bridesmaids luncheon, it's a Sacrament for pete's sake!!!

    The whole point is to commit to raising your child to know and serve Jesus. Long before you can start teaching your precious progeny to memorize scripture or make him go to Sunday School, you do that by being an example. So how about taking some time with the WWJD book and find out how to be that example. Let's all turn to Hebrews 13:2. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
