Celebrate

I recently was confirmed into my church. This is a great cause for celebration, because I have become a more active member of my church.



Confirmation, for those of you who do not know, is a renewal of your vows to God. You have already made these vows at your baptism, but your parents made them for you. In other words, confirmation is a re-baptism. In our church, a bishop is the only person who can confirm people into the church. Since the Bishop of Arkansas only comes to our particular church once every other year, confirmation does not happen very often. I am also my parents first child to be confirmed into our new church.

Confirmation may not be a great cause for celebration for other people, but for my family and myself it is.
