Sam joined the church
The weather has been way too nice for me to sit at the computer and blog lately, but I wanted to take a sec to note that Sam joined the church on Easter Sunday. He completed the communicants' class with David Marr and met with the session, making public his profession of faith. He joined alongside Yukari Takata, the Roerdinks, and Robyn Davis, who was also baptized. It was a special day for our family. Stephen and I gave Sam his first "real" Bible. . . one that is not a children's Bible or the NIrV. It was a brown backpack Bible with an orange suede cross on it. We had his name put on it, with Psalm 119:9 printed below. He was quite proud of it, and even better, has been reading it. He and Rebecca read it together for a while Sunday evening, which was neat.
Psalm 119:9
How can a young man keep his way pure?
By living according to Your word.
That's one of my favorite verses (incl. 10 & 11). I wish I had been able to congratulate Sam on Sunday and make a big deal about him joining the church. With the holiday and all it was kind of crazy...there were lots of folks I didn't get to talk to. Anyway, I hope my kids are making professions of faith at this age. You and Stephen are doing a great job at raising them in the admonition of the Lord.
