Today was kicking at Journey.  We celebrated baptism today and I always love it when people go public with their faith. I love the portable baptistry thing… I stay dry!  We borrowed it from Cornerstone Methodist Church.  This Methodist church dunks more people than a lot of baptist churches I know!  Baptism Videos are some [...]
