But what a special joy when young people choose to follow Jesus and make that public confession. And what a wonderful community you have found that will figure out how to baptize big kids!Deannahttp://deannag.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7307114766025313443.post-7741327207061977412010-09-05T18:52:22.600-07:002010-09-05T18:52:22.600-07:00Oh, congratulations!

All of us were sprinkled and not immersed (g). We were married in the Lutheran church, and the boys were baptized there. We had a special surprise when Nolan was baptized- the church had some water brought back from the River Jordan, and so Nolan was baptized with that water. Very cool.leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05004783118268323560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7307114766025313443.post-24202508735359955602010-09-05T18:29:22.222-07:002010-09-05T18:29:22.222-07:00What a blessing to know that our children have pro...What a blessing to know that our children have professed their trust in Jesus Christ and are following Christ in baptism. You and yours are a blessing to me! Wish we had some of your cooler weather - although the boys were probably wishing for some of this Texas heat! It is some cooler- in the sixties at night, but when I left Mother's today (I was parked on the concrete driveway) my thermometer in the car said 109! Of course it really wasn't quite that - but it still feels like August. Have a wonderful September and send my best wishes to all of the boys!<br />Blessings,<br />AvaAbi's Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13698384720066885888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7307114766025313443.post-4482419551305057302010-09-05T17:17:22.227-07:002010-09-05T17:17:22.227-07:00So heartening to hear that your boys have professe...So heartening to hear that your boys have professed their faith in Jesus Christ. The angels rejoy when one sinner repents!<br />We are "Covenanters" so all of our children are baptized. I long and pray for the day when they profess their faith also.<br />(Re the face you are pulling. That is the face us mums always seem to have when someone takes our picture :-)Rubyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09705309602853231946noreply@blogger.com
