A Great Day.

Yesterday will, without a doubt, go down in Bezner family lore as one of the greatest days of my life.

I had the opportunity to baptized my oldest son, Ben, on Father's Day.

Ben has been discussing faith from a very early age. I suppose this isn't surprising for the son of a pastor. I recall one time that Ben, at the age of three, was sleeping over at a friend's house. In the middle of the night the father heard Ben talking, so he got up and saw Ben looking out the front window speaking into the night. When he asked Ben what he was doing, Ben's reply was simple: "Talking to God," he said.

Ben and I have had many great "God talks," but I suppose I've seen him heading toward this decision for some time.

As he walked down into the baptistry yesterday, he was smiling from ear to ear. I was a little rattled; I could barely remember my words at first. Finally, I got going, managed not to cry, and spoke the baptismal blessing. Upon asking Ben his testimony, he said, "Jesus is my Lord and the Light of my life."

That was incredible.

Oh, and I also had the privilege of baptizing my two teenage neighbors, seeing almost all of my family, and eating a delicious home-cooked lunch by JB.

It was a great day.
