Blessings forever to Joseph! When you write about sports, my eyes just kind of glaze over :O so no comments there. I am one of the chosen few who love fruitcake, too.

Most parents do quite well in this, so the godparents are off the hook. <BR/><BR/>Our goddaughter had flaky parents. We, together with her grandmother, took on the responsibility of getting her to confirmation classes(3 yrs in the Lutheran church). This turned out to be one of the best things that ever happened to her. The pastor was fantastic when we explained the circumstances to him. He took our goddaughter under his wing and wound up turning her life around for the better. That experience was one of the most rewarding "duties" we ever HAD to do!tshsmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637635755654078408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329973.post-55315406793501826782008-12-08T16:59:00.000-05:002008-12-08T16:59:00.000-05:00Huh.

I'm a firm believer in those who live life a bit off-center at times, who have a sense of humor (much needed) making a better Godparent or sponsor too at Confirmation that some folks who take the religious things way to seriously. I was wondering what you were building up to with the bit about BC but thought you did a great job explaining their "D" and lack thereoff through your build-up. Festivus -now there's a holiday I'd love to celebrate and I think I'd have very much the same complaint too about the nicotine. Gee, I've even stopped going to bars now completely since they are now all smoke-free in PA. How can one be expected to enjoy the brews without the nicotine in hand to keep you from just totally chugging?

Thanks for coming by today. But, I should have suspected when I saw your "street name", "Suldog". Great explanation of the confirmation ritual. Not boring anyway. And, you would expect someone who's mother named him Tyrod to be tough right? I can imagine what his brothers must be like, Pushrod, Camshaft, Lifter, and Rockerarm. Just wait until they get in college. Come by anytime and stay a while.
