Bible Marginalia-A Loyalty Pledge

#26 in the Bible Marginalia Series

I attended worship at a

 neighboring church this weekend.

For a very special celebration.

The Baptism of Jacob Edward Loftus.

Parents- John and Casey Loftus

Grandparents- Greg and Lee Berson

Jay and Debbie Loftus

The pastor who had baptized mom- Casey-

 was visiting for the 50th Anniversary 

at Messiah Methodist in Springfield, VA.

 Ruth 1 was one of the readings

 for yesterday in this service.

Bishop Chamberlain was able to participate

 in the Baptism for Jacob.

 I like the Loyalty Heading-

 a Loyalty Pledge.

The baptism of our children is a reawakening

 of our own Baptismal Grace.

It is reminder of this HIGH CALLING

 that we have as

Christian parents.

This MOST IMPORTANT job-

of seeing our Children Home-

 to heaven.

It is a covenant among faith-people

 in community

to do WHATEVER it takes

 to help teach this child to walk 

in "THE WAY."

May the Lord grant 

rich supplies of all grace,

 and all LOVE in this young family

 that YOU claim.

And Happy Birthday today- 
November 3 to mom Casey.
