What's Your Element?

Your Element Is Air

You dislike conflict, and you've been able to rise above the angst of the world.
And when things don't go your way, you know they'll blow over quickly.

Easygoing, you tend to find joy from the simple things in life.
You roll with the punches, and as a result, your life is light and cheerful.

You find it easy to adapt to most situations, and you're an open person.
With you, what you see is what you get... and people love that!

What's Your Personality Type?

You Are An INFP

The Idealist

You are creative with a great imagination, living in your own inner world.
Open minded and accepting, you strive for harmony in your important relationships.
It takes a long time for people to get to know you. You are hesitant to let people get close.
But once you care for someone, you do everything you can to help them grow and develop.

You would make an excellent writer, psychologist, or artist.

What Time of Day Are You?

You Are Midnight

You are more than a little eccentric, and you're apt to keep very unusual habits.
Whether you're a nightowl, living in a commune, or taking a vow of silence - you like to experiment with your lifestyle.
Expressing your individuality is important to you, and you often lie awake in bed thinking about the world and your place in it.
You enjoy staying home, but that doesn't mean you're a hermit. You also appreciate quality time with family and close friends.

Baptism


This past Sunday, my daughters were baptised at Gethsemane Episcopal Church in downtown Minneapolis. One of the things that really struck me was that Madison, my four-year-old, seemed to really understand what was happening. Granted, she can't offer an opinion yet on baptismal regeneration, but she understood that what was happening was not just water being poured on her head. She understood that she was taking part in an initiation, that she was formally joining the Christian family. And she understood that her chrismation symbolised her being marked as Christ's own, forever. I'll never forget when, on the way home, she told me that the cross that was traced on her forehead was invisible, but that it would be there forever.

Wow.
