Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

It never felt natural to me to address HF and then stop talking to him. Others will feel more natural speaking the blessing to the baby. NBD either way.A man who views the world the same at fifty as he did at twenty has wasted thirty years of his life. - Mohammad Ali

I switched because that’s what felt more natural. None of it matters anyway. It’s not a saving ordinance and blessing a kid to get married in the temple or to serve a mission is really weird, IMO. I didn’t outline my kids’ lives in their blessings. I just blessed them with various Christlike attributes.

There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

Go back to around page 7 of this thread. So much repenting to do for so many. I started multiquoting but there were just too many, so I stopped. Tsk tsk. so many invalid baby blessings being offered by the CS brethren.Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss
