Baptism!

Josh got baptized today!  We went to the Springs South Church in Fountain.  Josh had been going there with us on Wednesday nights for prayer meeting.   Also, Sylvia re-dedicated her life to God and got baptized too.  It was an awesome service!


I just finished reading Bodie Thoene’s book the Tenth Stone last night.  I loved the way this was stated on p.223: “Every step is marked out for you … just walk.  What you and I do now for God is like the light of that star.  To someone yet unborn you are a distant star.  What good you do now may shine forth, yet it may not been seen or received by anyone during your lifetime.  But then your act of kindness will someday change the destiny of someone far in the future.  A thousand or two thousand years from this moment.  What we do now matters eternally.  The written Word of the Almighty lets us study and see how the eternal picture is unfolding through the generations.  Whatever we suffer now?  We can have faith that, in the end, even our suffering will be golden thread in the eternal tapestry. … Our destiny is already recorded in the Book.  This is what I learned in heaven.  Everything matters.  Every word.  Deed.  Thought.   Prayer.  Fear not!  It is time that makes us fear.  Fear of running out of time.  …”
