Baptism

Right now I'm at the computer to finalize my thoughts on Baptism.  It's the "Children of Record Baptism Day".  I have the assignment to give a short talk on Baptism.  It occurred to me that it is fitting to have a Baptism today, the day after Independence Day.  Baptism truly makes one free. Some may look at Baptism and the Commandments as "restraints"  when really they are helps and guidelines that keep us safe from what's wrong and draw us closer to our Loving Father in Heaven.
