Usually, babies are dedicated within their first six months or so. But, when have we ever done things on time or on a schedule?!
With the Rodriguez family in town, we thought it was the perfect time to have Will dedicated at our church, Olathe Bible Church. We wanted the same pastor, John Blackburn, who married Bret & I to perform the dedication. Everything was planned and organized, we were going to meet at the church on a Thursday evening, then have a celebration dinner together afterward. Well, life happened! John unfortunately had had a seizure the evening before and was in the hospital. We didn't know this, and because we were doing the dedication on a Thursday instead of a Sunday, the event wasn't really on the church's calendar. So here we were, 15 or so of us waiting for John at Olathe Bible and he wasn't there. Long story short, the children's pastor, Dusty Decker, was still on campus and was able to swoop in and save our dedication.
*John later sent me an email apologizing for not thing there. I told him there's no reason for him to apologize, it wasn't his choice to have a seizure!
