IS A GREAT DAY!!!!

From the words of Zachary - at 6 years old:

"When you're a Christian you pray, obey your parents, follow Jesus and God, read your Bible and love Jesus. Jesus died for us because of our sin. To go to Heaven you have to give your life to Jesus and He takes away your sin. ALL of your sin. Without Jesus, you go to Hell, where Jesus is not."

This morning, as Dan was getting Nicholas ready for the day and he was being the typical 3 year old and was putting up a fight while getting dressed for the day. Zachary went into our room to pray for Daddy and Nicholas - that God would help Dad get Nicholas' shirt on him. Zachary came to me with the sweetest voice and told me that while he was asking God to help Daddy and Nicholas, he also asked Jesus to come into his life!!!!

But when Jesus saw this, He was indignant and said to them, "Permit the children to come to Me; do not hinder them; for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. ~ Mark 10:14

and said, "Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. ~ Matthew 18:3

Zachary will be baptized in about a month and Dan has the honor and privilege of baptizing him!! It will be Dan's first baptism!
