One Happy Guy!

Allow me to introduce you to Oliver!
He is a lovely Irish gentleman living in Auchinheath, Scotland. Born and raised a good Catholic boy in Ireland, Oliver has had several bad experiences with water. Two particular incidents where he almost lost his life left him permanently fearful of water.

Well, Oliver has discovered Christ...and with the discovery also the command to be baptized in water... (by the way, that still means immersed in my books...) "Pastor Ken, can I have a small word with you... is there any other way? I am horrified with water..."

Of course I tried to comfort and humour Ollie by telling him,
"I've never lost one yet..." Oliver went away somewhat perplexed with my answer. I'm not sure what his expectations were. I tried to encourage him by saying, "Oliver, I think this will be the perfect occasion not only to bury the 'old man', but think it will be an excellent opportunity to bury the 'old fear'.

So here is a quick picture of Ollie... baptized this past Sunday... completely triumphant!
