This weekend Kevin and I, while at the Alpha retreat, had the opportunity to get baptized. Both of us had been baptized before, but never fully immersed. How awesome it was to do this with my best friend, plus having it done by two wonderful men of God, Pastor Joe Castronova and Joe McCade. You guys are the best and words can't describe what the two of you mean to Kevin and I.
In addition to us getting baptized, 5 out of the 6 people in our group decided to do it as well. 1 of those 6 actually gave his life to Christ the day before. God is so good. This retreat will be one that I will treasure in my heart forever.
Good night everyone and remember to walk in love and speak in peace.
Love,
Anita
This reminded Doug & me of when we were baptized (dunked not sprinkled) 25 years ago to express outwardly the cleansing that had occurred sometime earlier. Both of us being raised Catholic made this a very different experience. Although we had accepted Christ already, the baptism is when we realized God was very much alive and a part of our lives individually and as soulmates. A cord of three strands can't be broken!
