{#2's number two Big J}
As members of
more commonly referred to as Mormons
We believe the age of accountability is 8. This is when a person becomes accountable for choosing between right and wrong before God. Before this time a person is sinless. So this is the age designated to be baptized.
My little nephew has decided that this is the choice he wants to make. To promise Heavenly Father to remember Him and to do good things and to repent when inevitably he makes not so good choices.
I remember the day I was baptized. I remember the gifts and the nerves. I remember feeling clean and sin free after coming out of the water... and I remember my "first sin". I didn't let a boy see the kite he had just given to me as a gift. Now I am not too sure that I ever truly repented of that... and if I ever see Lester (I know.. I had to repent of mocking that too) again I will tell him I am sorry and ask his forgiveness.
But until then, I am so very grateful that God has given me a gift, the gift that Big J will soon partake of.
A way back home, to live with Heavenly Father. Because of Christ I have a way to be forgiven so I can feel that feeling of clean again. I can feel the way I felt the moment before my "first sin".
Yipee!!!!!
