Sunday, December 4
I like saying those three names because it sounds like a listing of disciples. Jared, Jesse, and James. 🙂
Some of our family waiting for the baptism: Jana, Allie, Josh, Sam, Deb, Roy, Ian and two of our preachers, Luther and Dave. Dave was welcoming everyone.
More family members

The other young man being baptized was James Martin.

We closed by singing:
O happy day, that fixed my choice
On Thee, my Savior and my God!
Well may this glowing heart rejoice,
And tell its raptures all abroad
On Thee, my Savior and my God!
Well may this glowing heart rejoice,
And tell its raptures all abroad
Happy day, happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away!
He taught me how to watch and pray,
And live rejoicing every day:
Happy day, happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away!
When Jesus washed my sins away!
He taught me how to watch and pray,
And live rejoicing every day:
Happy day, happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away!
Congratulations to Jesse and Jared and to James too — I’m glad the weather cooperated too!
It was a nice, cold day. Thankfully the water is heated.
