Most Important Matters
I've neglected to state something that is very important to share, and that I haven't done an admirable job of doing so.
When Waverly went to youth camp about three weeks ago, she accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Savior there in Tennessee. Her entire family is certainly happy about her decision.
Last Sunday, at North Park Baptist Church in Humble, she made a public profession of her faith and was baptized during the second morning service.
As you all know, I couldn't be more proud of my daughter for her to come to this realization.
Through some of my personal struggles, which some of you know about to varying degrees, I've not done the best job that I could possibly have done in spiritual matters with her. So I'm certainly thankful that God still allowed for me to be productive in the workplace, earn a living and to be able to send her to youth camp - where I also accepted Christ as my personal Savior. (Not the same camp, mind you.)
For various reasons, I felt that it was important to share and I'm certainly not embarrassed to do so. I hope that if I've ever put myself in a situation around any of you that I've not been as Christ-like as I can possibly be that you'll forgive me for not being the best example that I can be.
Thank you for allowing me to share this with each of you here.

my oldest daughter, Ashton, was baptized July 13 (my mom's birthday). My dad did the baptism.
Our children are the ones who bring us closest to the Lord. Praise God for Waverly!
