Celebration/Praise - Addison Getting Baptised Sunday!

Addison has had a 'solid walk' for several years now, even though he just turned 7-years old. I always like to tell the story when he was only four.

We were flying a kite one day and he said 'Dad, I'd love to be able to fly'. I told him he did know, as we had flown to Orlando Florida for a Disney trip. He said no, not that - I'd like to be on top of the kite, way up in the sky, and see the face of God. Wow.. huge for dad.

We've always had talks of God/Jesus and their roles in our lives and the world around us, but typically I had initiated those discussions.

We have a festival on the square with Keith Cook last year and while I was talking to friends and enjoying the music, Addison walked down on his own and accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior. Dec31, he made his public profession of faith at our church, and this week, he asked for baptism.

Just amazing, the minds of children understanding the importance of living a Christian life - just awesome!

UPDATE: see updated pictures below of Kevin's run and Addison Birthday party - side note: Addion scored 4 goals today 'for Kevin' he said - I guess he just keeps those 'in his pocket' for special occations.
