Part of a song by Anointed-
if you say you’re sorry for all the stuff you do

Bob Russell once noted: "Baptism is the great equalizer. No matter who you are, how successful you are, or who you know... all have to go under the waters alike. There are those who come forward in expensive suits, dangling gold jewelry, and $100 hairdos. But the
