2 More Baptisms

I had the privilege of baptizing Vano's mom (also Henry Gonzales' sister), Mary, in Jesus Name this morning at 10am.  I had been talking to her for about a month about it and Bro. Brian Pursel had taught her a Bible Study several months ago.  Vano was filled with the Holy Ghost and baptized about a month ago.  His mom has been in the hospital and was moved to HealthSouth Rehab Center last week.  She was ready to make this great step and the HealthSouth staff was awesome!  They had dressing rooms, a 4' pool with an automated chair to lower her into the pool and even congratulated her on her brand-new experience! They are pictured above.  This makes the third baptism this week and none of them were during service times.  I already posted about the first one from the nursing home.

The second was Thursday morning at 10am.  Robert (not pictured) worked with Joe Ouellette for several years on Sheppard AFB and knew about our church through that connection.  He came to church about a week after I arrived and has been coming on Sunday's ever since.  Bro. Joe has gone on to his reward, but his legacy is living on!

Thank the Lord for what He is doing!

You are The Boss... which team would you hire?

With America facing historic debt, multiple war fronts, stumbling health care, a weakened dollar, all-time high prison population, skyrocketing Federal spending, mortgage crises, bank foreclosures, etc. etc., this is an unusually critical election year. The idea of “leadership” must be broadened from mere “experience” to include knowledge, learnedness and insight.

Let's look at the educational background of your two options:

Obama:
Occidental College - Two years.
Columbia University - B.A. political science with a specialization in international relations.
Harvard - Juris Doctor (J.D.) Magna Cum Laude

& Biden:
University of Delaware - B.A. in history and B.A. in political science.
Syracuse University College of Law - Juris Doctor (J.D.)

vs.

McCain:
United States Naval Academy - Class rank 894 of 899

& Palin:
Hawaii Pacific University - 1 semester
North Idaho College - 2 semesters - general study
University of Idaho - 2 semesters - journalism
Matanuska-Susitna College - 1 semester
University of Idaho - 3 semesters - B.A. in journalism

Now, which team are you going to hire ?
