For Father's Day we went to the beach in Cornucopia, about an hour from Ashland.
While the girls swam, played, and loved on other people's dogs, Keith mellowed out. Apparently intense people decompress differently. He says this is the most relaxed he's been in ages.
We forgot the camera, so you'll have to picture a bearded middle-aged man in khaki shorts standing knee-deep in Lake Superior. Who knew standing in water for two hours reading a Bible could be so relaxing?
Lani looked out at Keith and then back at me. "What's Dad doing? Practicing for a baptism?" I had a good laugh and explained he was just enjoying himself.
Our church practices believer's baptism and since we don't have a baptistry, baptisms take place in Lake Superior. For obvious reasons, few people feel led to be baptized in winter. We have a baptism scheduled for July 18th, so I guess Keith is ready.
