I was in the middle of my freshmen year at Saint Francis, and the prospect of speaking in front of people was mortifying. That Sunday afternoon, I was getting baptized, and had to give my testimony while standing waist deep in water. What if I got nervous and threw up in the baptism pool? What if my glasses floated away as I was getting dunked and I emerged a publicly professed Christian, but blind as a bat? Needless to say, I now recall that day with fondness. It’s been thirteen years, and yet I still have so much to grow.
