We had Kayleigh dedicated at church today. Really, it means that we are going to dedicate ourselves to raising Kayleigh in the church. For those of you who have been to dedications before, you know that it's a quick speech by the pastor, and then you're done. Kayleigh did very well. She just checked out her audience and listened to Dr. Dortch as he spoke. Jim and Shirley were there, or course. With them being in town, there is no way we would allow them to miss it! Mom and dad came up for the service. Valerie and Matt were going to come over, but Valerie got sick. Nick and Jonathan and families would have liked to come as well, but it's a little too far for them to travel. I have a feeling mom and dad didn't mind too much, since it meant that they got to have Kayleigh to themselves. Kayleigh and I are going to Jacksonville next weekend to cheer on some of the "Priddy Penguins" that are running in a half and full marathon, so we'll see Valerie and Matthew then.
Here are the verses that we chose for Kayleigh:
"And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please Him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light." Colossians 1:10-12

How precious! I love the verse you chose for her. I'm sure it was a beautiful time with family and friends.
