Water Baptism

Yesterday afternoon LifeLine had it's end of summer BBQ and pool party, and as part of the event we had our very 1st water baptism service. 2 of our family at LifeLine decided it was time to get baptized in water and show publicly their commitment to God. The backyard pool water was certainly chilly but it was a great experience and it all went very well. Karen was not only getting baptized in water but was also the host for our party. She walked in to church from the community one Sunday almost 2 years ago now with her life in turmoil and God has done amazing things in her life and still continues to as she walks with Him. Our other candidate for baptism was my 9 yr. old daughter Taylor. What a joy it was to be able to baptize my own daughter who has decided to make a public commitment to Christ. My dad baptized me when i was Taylor's age and now i got to baptize my own daughter too. Pretty sweet.
God continues to do great things at LifeLine.
