Imagine that you're staying at the Marriott for the weekend, and on Sunday morning you decide to head down to the pool. Then imagine that a couple hundred people gather around the pool and 18 of them are baptized in the shallow end. That was the scene Sunday morning as our weekly meeting included a fun time at the pool witnessing so many baptisms. I enjoyed seeing fathers baptize their teenage kids and couldn't help but think about the day when I hope to do the same.
It was also nice to hear the testimonies of a few of the people participating - there was unfortunately not time to hear all of them. I just read a rather remarkable story that we were not able to hear. It's worth the read.

it was a special day! God is great! :)
Alex,
What up brother! Hope you're doing well.
I've been thinking about baptism a bit lately, wondering whether or not I'll be baptizing my son. Of course, I'm a presbyterian pastor, so I don't have to wait as long as you!
I'm trying to decide if I want to simply be a Covenant daddy or be a pastor that day. I've heard that both are special.
We'll see. Its coming up Aug 17th when my in-laws will all be down in Bradenton. Peace.
