Default If I ever give another baby blessing

it will go like this:

Dear Heavenly Father, under the authority of the MP which we hold, we hold this baby in our arms to give him/her a name and a blessing. The name is [name] Waters. [Name], we bless you with all the experiences, choices, and attributes that will lead to your exaltation. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

No need to go into details. Just git'r done.

Make sure you record it and play it back for your child when they're a teenager. I make sure to warn my infants of the manifold dangers of liberalism.

The engineer in me appreciates the simple elegance of your approach. I am always a fan of optimization.

You may be pleased to know that when I blessed my daughter yesterday, after blessing her with a quick mind, keen intellect and thirst for knowldge, that I further blessed her with a spirit of truth and exorted her that her knowledge and intellect should only ever be used for good.

I mean, I can't have her turning out like me.

My wife's kin are pretty orthodox and somebody always takes copious notes during these events. I am thinking such a move on my part might extend the six week wait indefinitely.
