July 8, 1963
Monday, cool and mostly cloudy, 62 high. Linda Kingsley was here. Wayne worked for Carlton Hallock. Gerald went to work again. I ironed. Linda went home at night. LaVerne and Roberta here a few minutes in evening.
Comment: I think I started hauling clinker again from Cobleskill to a cement plant on the Hudson River for H B Moore. Carlton Hallock owned a large farm in Flat Creek close to the Church and Wayne probably helped him with the haying. There was a bridge across the Flat Creek just across the road in front of Hallock's and the stream had eroded out a fairly large swimming hole where we often went to swim. The pool was only about 3-4' deep and I remember "shallow" diving off the bridge into the pool, narrowly missing the large rocks that bordered the sides. Shallow diving is when, as you hit the water, you curved your hands abruptly upward and arched your back and you only penetrated the water a couple of feet. Another example of the wonderful luck we had of not breaking our necks. I was also baptized into the Church when I was about 10 or so at this location. (By full immersion, of course, sprinkling or partial submersion doesn't work. See below.)
"Immersion baptism, understood as demanding total submersion of the body, is required by Baptists, as enunciated in the 1689 Baptist Catechism: "Baptism is rightly administered by immersion, or dipping the whole body of the person in water, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit",[179] indicating that the whole body must be immersed, not just the head. Hmmm, here is how Jesus Became White: https://theconversation.com/the-long-history-of-how-jesus-came-to-resemble-a-white-european-142130
