I had an interesting experience this weekend.  My niece Anna who is 10 asked me perform her baptism (see baptism below, my baptism coach and videographer is my son Joshua who you will hear along the way).  What an honor!  After the ceremony I was standing outside the church with 3 of my nieces and it got me to thinking about how little time I actually get to spend with my extended family.  Today, I went to my favorite Prayer Joint over lunch (Sonic for a Chicago Style Hot Dog) and as I was recording all my extended family in my prayer journal I realized that I have 38 people who are directly related to me that I need to be praying for.  Between parents, grandparents, wife, son, brothers, sisters, brother-in-laws, sister-in-laws, nieces and nephews I have quite a crew of folks I need to be praying for.  How about you?
