Next Sunday is Easter and we get to watch a baptism!!!!!  Olivia's Mom and Dad talked to me this morning about talking with Olivia.  I asked them where they thought Olivia was since they have a better sense of her spiritual life than I.  They thought she was ready, so we talked after services this morning.
She asked Jesus to come into her heart a while back.  Mom and Dad have done a great job talking to her, clarifying, making sure she understands what happened, is happening, etc.
We talked about being baptized.  She's ready!  I asked her why she wanted to be baptized.  Her response - "Because I asked Jesus to come into my heart."  Simple faith.  
Does she understand everything that everyone thinks she should understand before making a "decision for Christ?"  Probably not, but then again, I doubt very seriously that anyone understands everything everyone else thinks they need to know......  I don't have many of the answers either.
So, next week, Easter Sunday, we get to celebrate as Dad baptizes Olivia!!!!!  I can hardly wait.
