		<description><![CDATA[Talk delivered in my ward recently. In considering the meanings of baptism, I want to reflect on several interrelated elements, including baptism as washing clean, baptism as death and resurrection, and baptism as adoption. First, though, some history. In Judaism, the ritual bathing called tevilah was very important. The concept behind this ritual, which took [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bycommonconsent.com&amp;blog=6576503&amp;post=31158&amp;subd=bycommonconsent&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

My family was chronically on the verge of financial ruin, a sort of meta-stable poverty shored up by surplus from neighbor&#8217;s gardens, government welfare, fast offerings, Relief Society-coordinated sub-for-Santa projects, and my mother&#8217;s less-than-subsistence wage as a special education teacher.

Neither is happy in the sense that saccharine is sweet (cloying then nauseous in rapid succession), but both are holy to me. The first requires that I recall my missionary [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bycommonconsent.com&amp;blog=6576503&amp;post=28237&amp;subd=bycommonconsent&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
