BLESSINGS to the Stubborn Child who receives MERCY,
My Mother wrote in my baby book, something like… Ronnie can be stubborn but give him a while and he comes around. You know moms can be more than generous with their thoughts and acts of kindness.
Shortly after my dad committed suicide in 1971, my mom told all us kids that she thought it best if we all went and got bapitized. Everyone went except me. I told my mom I wasn't ready for that. Thinking back I am sure it caused her a lot of hurt.
Guess you could say I have always had a rep. for digging my heels in when someone suggested something I didn't want to do.
For me, the need to be baptized did not enter my mind until 1987.
Few knew that when that Preacher in the church kept saying, “If not
now, when?”
He had my attention.
