This evening I had the honor of becoming Jaime Marie's godmother. Jaime, you are the sweetest, happiest baby I've ever known. While most babies cry when the water is poured on their head, you seemed to enjoy it. You were captivated by the water in the baptismal pool and the lights of the candles. It was a long service, but you didn't fuss once. Amazing. Maybe you understood the beauty of the moment. I think children know God best. Maybe it's just your peaceful, joyful nature. It was wonderful to witness.

I wish you a life full of the splendor of the spirit. It is in you, and all around you, always.
