On Sunday May 6th, we had Sophie's dedication at our church, Lee Park. In our Baptist faith, we have a small ceremony in front of the church where our Pastor presents us to the church congregation and holds us accountable to raise our baby in the training and instruction of the Lord. It is our obligation as parents to make sure that we live out our faith in Jesus in front of our children. Each one of them will have the opportunity to accept Jesus as their Savior when they reach an age where they have a clear understanding of Jesus' sacrifice for their sins. Silas has already made the decision to follow Christ, and was baptized last March at age 8.

I will continue to hold sweet little Sophie and the Dobbins family in my prayers.
What a wonderful blessing and amazing example of God's love.
