Baptism

Hi people how are things.

I attended a baptism today, remember that evangelistic series that I talked about in my last blog entry. Evidently people do believe, may be they just should.

The days events were threatened by rain and wind after all we are in the rain season it is to be expected. A few persons got a little wet but as we say in Trinidad “the only thing rain stops is Cricket” so the show went on.

About 30 (thirty) persons got baptized. This was not the sprinkling type baptism but full submersion. This was done at the “New” Clifton Hill/Guapo Beach facilities. The candidates, one by one were fully submerged by the pastor assisted by an elder; the sky was overcast the whole time as the members of the church sang. The beach was sprinkled by a few bathers occasionally looking on at what was going on.

After it was all done they went back to the tent for lunch.

The tent is scheduled for demolition the following day Sunday 27th 2008.

The Last Warning for Point Ligoure

Tonight the 22/07/08 was the first night that I attended the Evangelistic meeting that was taking place at the point ligoure junction Point Fortin.
This was the last week in the series of weeks on nightly Evangelistic meetings. For some reason I did not get to attend previous nights. This night was well attended in my view, made up of the usual compliment of church members, the curious newly baptized and those wanting to be baptized. They, the latter, all potential new members for the Seventh-Day Adventist Church body in Point Fortin.

On this night members of a local football (soccer) team got a football that the evangelist had promised them if six or more of them would attend one of the nights.


A personal testimony was given by Pedro DeSilver. He spoke about overcoming a life of crime and drugs (through the power of Jesus Christ) which he began at the age of 14 years old at that time he was attending Boys Industrial School. He was in and out of prison until 9th of November 2002. To date this has been the longest period he has been out of prison, all credited to the power of Christ.


This night sermon was focused on the Last warning given to the world all that will see read and listen. This was based on the book of Revelation, revelation 14. All in all it was a learning experience had by all weather you believe or not..

Reaching out

Looking at the TV I am, at that little clock digital on the cable box
When should I do it? touch the raised knobs
The ones with the letters let them spell for me.

Reach out and touch,
Reach out and touch. What is the timing? At what time should I?
Hesitating, questioning, waiting to reach out and do such
Touch, not if but when? When?

Hate this do I, the waiting, the wanting to but still deciding
If
Should I? That I do know is yes, bloody yes!
Smile, do I
Depress the knobs I touch, I don’t.

Why the hell not!

The while all the time is crawling on
Still have I not touched it
Frak!
A fool such am I, wasting time when I could be conversating
About what should I be talking?
Commonalities established I have not, pathetic

Hard this is
Is this hard?
Hard this is
Touch back I can’t, I would if I could
Now for I can’t

But is there a future? A future is there.
