that may work in so cal

was perusing rick warren's blog, curious when the next episode of the podcast would be up when i stumbled on his list of 40 ways to increase baptisms.   a helpful list of practical tips for helping people make the plunge...but...i had to pause when i read number 30:

thanks for the tip rick!  people not from southern california may want to append that one to include:

30a. Keep and ice auger on hand, and hypothermia blankets at the ready if you baptize outdoors in the winter.
