Daniel's Baptism

Saturday was a very special day for our family, especially our oldest son Daniel.  He was baptized, thereby publicly declaring his intent to follow the Lord for the rest of his life.  The occasion was made even more special because my husband was the one to baptize him.  Since he is Daniel's spiritual leader, it seemed fitting for him to baptize his son.

Just before Daniel is dunked.
One year ago, Daniel could not have been baptized.  We had not seen the fruit of the Holy Spirit in his life.  But in September of last year, he surrendered his heart to the Lord.  We have seen him grow so much in this past year.  In many ways, he is not even the same person he used to be.  We are so proud of him and thrilled that he has decided to follow Jesus.
I missed the shot where he was under, but the deed has been done.

You're so funny ... "The deed has been done."

So glad for Daniel and your family!
