Whenever I lead a baptism for an infant in worship, I fill the pitcher of water with hot water. Not immediately before the service but about 30-40 minutes before, giving it some time to cool down but not be freezing cold for the little one who has no idea what is happening when the baptism takes place. So, yesterday I was filming my sermon for Sunday and I’m focusing on baptism (which is a change in plans from the original schedule - a change was necessitated as a result of the riot at the Capitol on Wednesday). When I reached my hand into the water, I managed to not react too strongly when I felt what was ice cold water. I was in our chapel and the heat was on low and what was originally cold water just stayed cold since I hadn’t turned the thermostat up while I was recording.
