One proud “papa” watched his 7-year-old grandson emerge from the Atlantic Ocean a baptized follower of Jesus. Dominic Scoleri was one of 138 people baptized Sunday May 20th by David Uth, pastor of Orlando First Baptist church, in the waters off Cocoa Beach Florida.
To know that the most important thing in life, walking with faith in Christ, is being replicated generationally is a real joy. While waiting in line to be baptized, Dominick (the Dominator) was questioned by a reporter about his faith. He told of how he prayed to receive Jesus with his mother and then quoted Colossians 2:6-7 in response to the question of what is one of his favorite scriptures.
The extended weekend in Florida also produced tears of joy as I watched and listened to Dominick’s sister, Gabriella, sing with a group called Virtue. To listen to that group of twenty 3rd to 6th graders sing praises to the Lord was so exciting. The group performs for various organizations around the Orlando area and leads worship every Sunday for K-5th graders.
To top the weekend off, my daughter Gretchen performed to perfection in the drama “Steel Magnolias”. They received rave reviews from the Orlando Sentinel’s drama editor. What a full and great weekend.
