As most of you know I have been going through drastic things in my life during the past year and a half health problems life problems etc but over the last few days I have done a great deal of soul serching and self thought
today i walked down the aisle to meet the pastor and rededicaed my life to GOD I have asked Pastor Kevin to baptise me once again to renew my faith
over the years since my origional baptism My life spiriled down hill until I could go no further
I didn't do drugs nor did I murder anyone but yes I did break a number of GODS commandments of which I am heartfully ashaimed of
I have lied to my family and have turned my son against me for the lies I have told him over and over again thus breaking his heart and destroying his trust in me
maybe GOD can forgive me for my sins
I do not deserve forgiveness
I dearly love my son and his family and do not want to lose them
so this coming sunday night at the sunday night service I will be rebaptised
Friends be with me in prayer and thought until that night and ever after
I must mention here that unbeknowst to me my wife of 46 years was following me and as soon as i sat on the first pew after a short prayer my wife redebicated her life to CHRIST
the entire tim that I was waiting on the vote from the congreation I was weeping like a child, hearing weeping behind me I became aware that 90 precent of my fellow church members was also sobbing .the congreation knew of my situation where I died and wAs sent home
the weeping was ~~I was told ~~~was happiness ~~ in Joy! when it came time for the vote, a motion was made that I be rebaptised and seconded when pastor Kevin ask what might be the voice of the congreation the church erupted in a courus of yeas I never knew how my church members felt abouut me and now I know
after the service on the steps and the walkway every member had to shake my hand AND MY SON GREATED ME IN FRONT OF EVERYONE BY GIVING ME A BIG HUG something he hasn't don in years~~ our differences have noew been resolved
I have been a member o f West End Baptist Church since 63 coming from a luthern background what a difference!!!!!!!!!
love to all
