A Beautiful Baptism

Proverbs 10:19 says, “When there are many words, transgression is unavoidable, But he who restrains his lips is wise.” I could say many, many words about these pictures, but I prefer to let them speak for themselves. This is the baptism of my 9 year old son. I can’t even express the joy at his confession of Jesus Christ as Lord. For those of you who know him, you understand why. And so y’all know, this is Luke baptising him. As if the baptism isn’t enough, the whole father/son dynamic slays me all over again.

Thank you so much, Deedra, for ministering to us through your gift of photography. I’m seriously considering staging a fake baptism for the other boys so I can have a collage. You’ve captured the most important day of our son’s life with pure innocence and perfection and I’ll forever be grateful!

Hi... I'm Lisa and as the tagline says, also a preacher's wife. I began this website in 2007 just prior to the Facebook revolution when mom blogs were a relatively conflict-free zone for sharing recipes and stories about our latest parenting fails. Fast-forward a few years... Luke and I continue to serve the same family of believers in North Alabama where we've called home for over 16 years. The boys are grown and gone, we have an incredible daughter-in-law and the baby McKay is living her best life as an only child while working and going to college. I am a full-time corporate employee and still love to write and teach Scripture. The last two years haven't been kind to public events but it's been during these trying times that the Lord has revealed the importance of the local church reclaiming discipleship using the gifts of those within the body. The time feels right to refresh the blog as a platform for sharing how God has worked through this process and perhaps encourage other churches to follow. And who knows, there may even be a recipe or more parenting fails. Those don't stop when your kids become adults. Thank you for visiting.. I look forward to connecting!
