I wish Prince and Everybodyelse happiness and finding a sense of inner peace.
I was Baptized today.I feel a true sense of joy.A calmness and peace has come over me,and I know it's the love of God.
I have happiness and inner peace.it took me 34 years to get here,but i'm in a place where I need and want to be.
Staying on the straight and narrow isn't the easy road.It will be the hardest road.There will be trials and tribulations,but at the end is eternal life.
I took the easy road.It's also the deceitful road.
We all at some point take the easy road.I know i did.


I want to wish all of you here happiness and calmness.
Even in these tough times,faith is the only thing that's going to pull any of us through.God Bless You All.

what is quite interesting to me is that I actually remember being baptized, at the age of 6months, it is my first memory....


my sister was never baptized and she really wants to now, she's 21 but she feels strange thinking she should have been earlier in life... one of these days hopefully we can arrange it

I also wish him peace and joy

U know when my oldest was being baptised when he was only a few months old he was asleep and the Priest was holding him....when the Priest said "Let us raise our hands to GOd" My fast asleep little baby raied his tiny hand up in the air I even have a picture to prove it...everyone gasped and then

And thank u Angii...very sweet of u

Thank you and Congratulations.

Thank U 4 Sharing. I was baptized August 31st, 2003, although I was saved March 22, of 1999.

Living a spiritual life is not that hard, and it gets easier.

U come 2 find out, that there isn't anything 2 find in the world as far as human emotions go, that U didn't already know at 17. We just find more extreme levels of the same things.

Of course with life, there is neverending education...however, Love is still love, forgiveness is still forgiveness.
Temptations are still the same.
Sacrifice is still the same.

Come on....If sexual temptations are the most difficult, and I believe they are, It's easier to be an adult getting away with living them out, than it is for the teenagers that have to find a remote spot 2 park the car.

And U know...when U can look back and say 2 yourself, that "I was looking 4 love in all the wrong places." And U can say it 9 times more than once...
U can say it 99 more times that once as well. Sex alone doesn't satisfy anyone 4 very long...Love desires the faithful partnership a marriage has. So if U know when U are and adult that U are not going 2 spend the rest of Ur life with someone...don't have sex with them either. It's that simple.

Congratulations. Its a new way of life and it wont be easy but for me I try to always remember that my relationship with God is the most important relationship I can ever have! He loves and cares for us far more than any human being on earth can. Keep walking in integrity and steer clear of bad associations. Key scriptures from the wise King Solomon in the book of Proverbs, my favorite.


Proverbs 2:1-18,20
My son, if you will receive my sayings and treasure up my own commandments with yourself, 2 so as to pay attention to wisdom with your ear, that you may incline your heart to discernment; 3 if, moreover, you call out for understanding itself and you give forth your voice for discernment itself, 4 if you keep seeking for it as for silver, and as for hid treasures you keep searching for it, 5 in that case you will understand the fear of Jehovah, and you will find the very knowledge of God. 6 For Jehovah himself gives wisdom; out of his mouth there are knowledge and discernment. 7 And for the upright ones he will treasure up practical wisdom; for those walking in integrity he is a shield, 8 by observing the paths of judgment, and he will guard the very way of his loyal ones. 9 In that case you will understand righteousness and judgment and uprightness, the entire course of what is good.

10 When wisdom enters into your heart and knowledge itself becomes pleasant to your very soul, 11 thinking ability itself will keep guard over you, discernment itself will safeguard you, 12 to deliver you from the bad way, from the man speaking perverse things, 13 from those leaving the paths of uprightness to walk in the ways of darkness, 14 from those who are rejoicing in doing bad, who are joyful in the perverse things of badness; 15 those whose paths are crooked and who are devious in their general course;
20 The purpose is that you may walk in the way of good people and that the paths of the righteous ones you may keep.

Peace and love
