Mark 10:14-15 says "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." (NIV)
Today, as we sat on our kitchen floor by the sink and dishwasher, my 5 year old son asked the Lord of the universe to come and live inside his heart! I can't begin to describe the sheer joy and excitement of the moment. To hear that sweet, little voice gently ask our Jesus to save him is a moment that I will cherish like no other. As I finished leading him in that prayer, I was overwhelmed with emotion. As my wife looked on with camcorder in hand, she too was soaking up this tremendous "eternal moment".
I had been praying that if God so chose, that he would allow me to have the chance to lead my son to Christ before CH-BOLC. To be totally honest, I don't even know what I really expected from that prayer. It was just a tug at the heart that kept popping up. But Jesus, in His Godly timing answered that prayer in a way that became one more miraculous confirmation of the path He has for my family.
Finally, when it is all said and done, one more name was written in the Lamb's Book of Life today. I proudly get to say that it is MY SON!!!!

That's awesome!
Thank you, Amy. Also, thanks again for your blog. I believe that yours was the first chaplain/chaplain candidate blog that I read. It has been a great encouragement to me.
2LT,
That is so exciting. We will be praying for his continued growth and maturation. Praise the Lord.
David,
When you called to tell us about your son ....our daughter was the most excited. She kept jumping up and down saying "I can't believe it and that is so cool!" I look forward to spending eternity with the little man. Andrea
I can't say anything I didn't say on the phone when you called me...so....
