The Baptism of Jack

jackbaptism

So raise your glass, clap your hands,

Everyone share a high five!

Jack is getting baptized.

His heart has come alive.

The preacher may have dunked him under.

By God’s Spirit he’s been raised.

This man has been saved by Jesus.

It’s to Him we give glory and praise!

 

1) There was an Angel right there in the pool.

No, wait.  This angel is Jack’s wife.

Through thick and thin, by his side she has been.

And several times she has saved his life.

As Jack slid under the water,

she waited on him from above.

And when he popped up, she stretched her arms out,

and gave Jack a soul mate’s love hug.

2) He’s always been known as a “rock star”,

got the looks and he knows how to sing.

But add one more name, to how he is  known.

Now he’s also called child of the King!

 

So raise your glass, clap your hands,

Everyone share a high five!

3)This preacher has been around lots of baptisms.

this one I promise was real.

As the family all gathered, sittin’ round the table,

God’s presence and His Love you could feel.

Such a special and spirit filled occasion.

But there is one more thing I must say.

All baptisms that this preacher does from now on,

must include Dawn’s crawfish etouffee !!! 😉

 

4)So Jack, a new journey you’ve started.

Don’t be hard on yourself ’bout anything.

Cause no matter what you do, or wherever you are,

Now my friend, you’re a child of the King!

 

So raise your glass, clap your hands,

Everyone share a high five!

I’m not broken down, She is!

I''m not broke down

I’m driving down a Colorado road sightseeing.  This guy is pulled over, with his hood up, and he’s in the truck talking on his phone.  “Need any help?” I asked.  His exact words… “No, I’m not broken down, SHE is!”(as he points to his phone).

The guy with a strong Boston accent continues. “The only way I can help her is to look under my own hood.  She has a vehicle just like mine, I’ve had this problem before and I know how to help her.  Thanks anyways.”

Well, that just made my day!  To see someone actually stop their own journey to help another.  To see someone look under their own hood so they can help someone else, well, that’s neat (and unusual).

But first, all the questions I ponder as I continue on my journey sightseeing.  What’s someone from Boston doing way out here?  Sightseeing I guess.  What would be wrong with her vehicle that he can fix by looking under his own hood?  A wire? A belt? Oil?  Battery cable?  Who knows?  The point is that the guy knows what’s wrong with her vehicle.  Ah, who is her?  Wife, daughter, friend, girlfriend?  The point is that she is someone that he knows well enough to stop and help because he knows.

It’s not what you know, it’s who you know. She knows that he knows, so that’s all she needs to know, ya know.  Cause when you know that you know, then when you don’t know you know to call who you know, ya know?  Whoa………..

Philippians 2:4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.

The guy probably had some trouble before.  Now he was willing to help another by sharing his experience (even by looking under his own hood).  Do you remember that bad experience you went through a while back?  Been trying to forget about?  Hoping others have forgotten about it.  Maybe even in your spiritual journey something happened that now by “looking under your own hood” you can help others.  God blesses us with fellow Christians to help and support each other on our journeys.  God forgives and heals what’s under our own hood.  But it’s not just for your sake, it’s for others as well.

God’s a good “mechanic”.  Now we can look after the interests of others as well as our own.  You know??

I’m traveling down a road with friends that I know and a God that I know.  See Ya!!!
