We stayed for an extra hour after service to baptize. A guy was watching the livestream at home with his 3 month old, gets convicted, throws the baby in the car and walks in to be counseled, leaving his baby with one of our volunteers. He was our last baptism. #fillthetank

After watching video of #AhmaudArbery shooting, I am sickened. I know it’s an active case, and I pray the grand jury in GA pursues justice. But when I see these things, my first thought is always an echo of the Psalms: ‘How long, O Lord?’ Lamenting and mourning today.
