Baptizem!!!!!

So, been gone for a long while, not gonna get into why, because for one, I would be repeating myself from previous posts, and two, today is a spectacular special day....


Many years ago, so long ago I don't even remember, sometime between age 8 and 13 I was baptized, sounds bad but the only way I can put it is I was forced to. I didn't fight it, so it does sound bad, but I got baptized because my dad wanted me baptized.  So now, today, at the age of 20... ok, 29, soon to be 30, I am dedicating my life to Christ, not really re-dedicating, because when I first got baptized, I did not have Jesus in my heart, in my life. I did not go to church but maybe once a month, I never read the bible, the closest I got to worshiping the Lord was listening to Jars of Clay or DC Talk, but also I was listening to Tool and Marilyn Manson.

Now, being a Christian does not mean you must ALWAYS go to church, always read your bible, always pray, but I can tell you now, it does help. If I were to die today, not being baptized again, I would still be accepted to heaven, because I have accepted Jesus as my Father, as my Savior, I don't read my bible daily, but on the days that I don't, there is a huge difference, when I don't pray, I feel disconnected from Him.

Some are confused why anyone would get re-baptized, we all have our own reasons, mine, I have a few, I was so young I did not understand what it meant to give my life to Him, to trust in Him in everything. My main reason to be baptized again is not to become clean of all my sins, I have asked for forgiveness, He has forgiven me, daily. My biggest part of wanting to do this is to show my family and friends, my Church family, that I have chosen Christ as my savior and I want to share this moment with all of them.

For those of you who can't be there, pray for me, as I pray for you, and for all of those coming to see, thank you, this is one of those moments that is going to stick with me for the rest of my life, I will remember forever, and luckily to boot, it is being done at the same park I gave my life to my Wife, we got married at the same park. I will try and blog more, write out my thoughts, my going ons and what not, but no guarantees, just like my baptism, does not mean I will automatically read daily, never sin again and just get hit with a white light and understand everything about God my father, but, it is a start to the continuation to a beautiful relationship between me and Him, and I would like to share that with you all.

God is Love.
