My two youngest, of my four kids, got Baptized this past Sunday. It was a beautiful day with close family and friends being so supportive and loving. I’m so proud of them for making this decision on their own like I did as a kid.

Leading up to the Baptisms was a tuff week. I felt like I was being attacked all week from a few people and issues that weren’t from me. The night before and early morning hours of the Baptisms I was having unsettling dreams that seemed to be from the guy downstairs so I prayed to The Man Upstairs, my God, for safety and protection of my kids, all of them, and all of my family because it was a dark attack I was feeling for days. I prayed for my two youngest to make it to their Baptisms and stay safe. Without going into detail these attacks were something I haven’t felt so intense before and it’s been happening for weeks. So many things that could go wrong did go wrong or at least tried too. So many people tried to take the wind out of my sails but it didn’t happen…with prayer and Faith I was able to overcome these attacks.

I’m not an alarmist or some supernatural strange believer but I know what I was feeling and it was not good, it wasn’t light… it was darkness. Prayer was and is my go-to and this past week it gave me strength and peace in times of some very uncomfortable situations.

I told my wife about this the morning of the Baptisms and she prayed for us all too. I didn’t want to say anything all week because I didn’t want to alarm her. I’m so very lucky to have such a wonderful wife who is equally yoked with me.
