Signs and Portents

The first night of Catechism they asked if we were baptized and if so, to provide a copy of our baptismal certificate. While the Catholic Church recognizes infant baptism and baptism by sprinkling or dunking, they only recognize it if it was done in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (the Trinity) as opposed to just in the name of

Is it terrible that I would have lied and said that I just really wanted to have a copy and couldn't find my original?

I lost mine too. The said thing about that is I also had a small cloth form my baptism too. Well, I shouldn't say I lost them, they were lost when my mom didn't pay her storage bill.

I'm so sorry about the storage losses. Monkeys lost a bunch of stuff, too. Not really from the storage bill, but from people breaking (ha) into his trailer and just from weather damage in general from the holes and stuff.

yeah it was kind of crappy. All the stuff I had from my childhood was lost. Tons of pictures, and a copy of my dads manuscript. Which I don't think anyone even has anymore. She told me someone broke in and stole everything, but now I know she just didn't pay her bill. You think she would have figured out she wasn't going to be able to pay the bill and let us go grab the important stuff.

What kind of manuscript? (If it's okay for me to ask.)

My dad wrote a book about caves in Mo. and a bunch of kids finding a unicorn in there. (It was kind of a dinosaur unicorn. Basically meaning it looked like an original horse) It was far more complex than that but that's basically it. (He had a kickass game idea in there. It was space shooting game set in something like a motorcycle cage. You could rotate in any direction you needed to hit your target) It was actually a pretty cool story. He sent me a copy but never got it published. As he is now dead and this was not typed on a computer... I'm sure it's long gone.
