Navy Cookout

Today Shannon and I hosted another cookout.  This time we hosted all Navy midshipmen.  The sad part is three of the midshipmen are seniors and will be graduating and commissioning very soon.  I guess the saying "bitter sweet" would fit here.  It's great to see them commissioning and getting the chance to serve their country, however I am sad because today was the last cookout I will have with them. We had a great time playing Wii disc golf while eating burgers, and hot dogs.

Army cookout

Today Shannon and I had a couple of students from the Army ROTC.  We had a great time fellowshipping, playing cornhole, and eating burgers and dogs.  We couldn't have asked for better weather.  I am hoping that God is working through this time spent with these students to help open the door  for more cookouts, and ultimately to build relationships among the ROTC cadets.

Demonstration of Faith

Today was an exciting day!  I have been working with a student all school year.  We met this time last year, and over the course of this year she has come to faith in Jesus, and groing closer and closer to God.  A few weeks ago, we approached each other in order to talk about baptism.  I say we approached each other, because she approached me, and I approached her about baptism.  She was wanting to know what baptism is all about and if she should be baptized. We discussed baptism, and if it would be appropriate for her to be baptised. Well, today April 21, 2013 she WAS BAPTIZED.  I celebrate with her and her family and friends, rejoicing in the Lord!
