Sunday, May 6, 2012 was a very special day for you, Maci. This was the day that your mom and dad stood before the church at First Baptist West in West Monroe, LA promising the Lord that they would raise you in church. They dedicated themselves to the Lord on this day. Your family members and some of your parents' friends stood with them and dedicated ourselves to pray for you and your parents. You did so well. You were so cute because when the congregation clapped, you also clapped. Of course, you did not know or understand what was going on.
On May 8, 1983, your grandpa Bill and I had a dedication for your daddy. This dedication was held at First Baptist Deaf Mission in Baton Rouge, LA. We promised that we would raise him in church and we did. When your daddy was 7 years old, he told me he wanted to invite Jesus into his heart. I remember praying with him and he asked Jesus to save him. This was such a blessing. I look forward to the day when you are old enough to understand what salvation means and you invite Jesus into your heart.
