Many years ago when Rick was being ordained as a pastor, he was counseled by the church leaders to be re-baptized as a way to show his outward commitment to the ministry.
He agreed.
The morning of that Sunday, he was getting ready and asked me to bring him a package or two of Alka-Seltzer.
Me being the caring and compassionate wife
- I did as he asked, thinking he had an upset stomach.
As I handed them to him I asked him what was wrong.
"Oh, nothing."
But he had that "Ricky Lee smirk" going on.
So I pressed to find out why he wanted the Alka Seltzer if he was feeling ok.
He was seriously considering "lightening the moment of seriousness". 🤦♀️🤣
He thought it might "help" if he opened the packages and put the tablets in his pocket, so that when he was "put under" for baptism, the tablets would start fizzing and bubbling up.
That man!
Needless to say, I got the Alka Seltzer out of his pocket and the baptism went off just fine.
With me barely containing the giggles as I sat in the front row.
