One of the adults with us got sick and I ended up tending to him (divine intervention? perhaps). <br /><br />Looking back, saying something probably would have just escalated the situation, name tag or no name tag. It turns out that every team in the league has has problems with this team, it's coaches, and it's parents.<br /><br />I have to say, another adult in our group was an off-duty Georgia State Trooper - a good person to have on hand, just in case.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16867677519292809507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4295514481841445205.post-53610069179655721662010-10-19T19:23:20.178-04:002010-10-19T19:23:20.178-04:00I dread this!

While he is not facing death, and I do not begin to try to know how that would feel as a parent, I do understand the peace that can come from prayers of healing. My son still has his special needs. In our case, I think the healing was actually in me...maybe my son doesn't need healing. While we don't know what God will do for Jason here on Earth, we can be sure in His promise that Jason will eventually be whole. I pray that they will receive peace and assurance from our risen Lord to know that death and disease has already been conquered!Wallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17547732747351581107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4295514481841445205.post-16402868189028168852010-03-10T10:11:17.233-05:002010-03-10T10:11:17.233-05:00Great post Alex - I agree, far too many Christian ...Great post Alex - I agree, far too many Christian limit their witness and God's work by not actively living their faith. <br /><br />Kathy LamonClergy Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18087934839615094559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4295514481841445205.post-81387332434678969402010-03-02T23:43:33.009-05:002010-03-02T23:43:33.009-05:00Alex,

I was baptized at just a few months old. ...Wally, <br />I was baptized at just a few months old. I definitely don't remember it. <br /><br />We talked about this in church yesterday actually. "Remember your baptism" isn't about remembering the day, the time, who was there, how cold the water was, and all the sights and smells. "Remember your baptism" is about remembering that you are baptized.<br /><br />This has been a recurring question/concern throughout my ministry. People who were baptized as babies and don't remember it, but make the conscious commitment to follow Christ later on often want to be baptized. We can't/won't/should not re-baptize, but we have options, like confirmation (nobody says you have to be 11 years old) or reaffirmation of baptism. <br /><br />I've actually started changing my own wording from "Remember your baptism" to "Remember that you are baptized".<br /><br />Good question. I've actually lost church members over the re-baptism issue. Re-baptizing people is a punishable offense for a United Methodist Pastor.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16867677519292809507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4295514481841445205.post-13051230635077421562010-01-10T20:33:43.030-05:002010-01-10T20:33:43.030-05:00Okay, so I have a question.

I wasn't saying God didn't do it right the first time, I just wanted to be able to remember my baptism. As I look back now, I don't feel that same need, but at that time, it seemed very important to me. At least now, when someone says 'remember your baptism', I can.

So many believers in Jesus live in such a way to make faith in Jesus seem very undesirable. I believe it's time for believers to shut up and start scrutinizing themselves - their words and their actions - by the same criteria they judge others. Believers are some of the most negative people I know and some of the meanest too!Robin Paynenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4295514481841445205.post-23084829989704704632009-07-22T17:36:55.258-04:002009-07-22T17:36:55.258-04:00eager to see (and hear) you on friday :) sure hope...eager to see (and hear) you on friday :) sure hope fafe, little b and E are coming too!Skoots1moMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15062108140123899280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4295514481841445205.post-71077948748313019112009-07-21T20:15:01.635-04:002009-07-21T20:15:01.635-04:00well said, my friend.well said, my friend.Sharihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08583831827618651291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4295514481841445205.post-21981861188797550462009-07-18T10:21:23.176-04:002009-07-18T10:21:23.176-04:00Well said, although, as your rants go, it was pret...Well said, although, as your rants go, it was pretty tame.<br /><br />There are times where we must confront issues (as Jesus did when he cleared the Temple).
