| | MISSISSIPPI BURNING AGAIN? |

 | | Posted by: A. Glenn Brady | 11/26/2008 | Greetings everyone and happy Thanksgiving! Amidst all the turmoil and economic challenges of today, we have a lot to be thankful for and can declare, “God has been good.” As President-elect Obama is forming his staff and cabinet, it’s still hard to believe that the election is over. I still have my “Vote Obama-Biden” sign in my front yard. In fact, all my neighbors still have signs in their yards too. None of us want to take them down, as if it will change the results. (Only my one neighbor who was supporting McCain & Palen removed his sign as soon as the election was over.) The country is still buzzing about the Obama win and there is a spirit of expectancy with his candidacy as he meticulously & pragmatically makes the appointment of those who will begin to deal with the many issues confronting our nation. However, make no mistake… everyone is not happy about the Obama victory. I’m recently returning from a weekend of teaching & preaching in Mississippi. While there at dinner with members of the church, I was yet relishing and basking in the epic event of the first African-American president of the United State when all of sudden I went into shock. The church members began to share that when their children and/or grandchildren arrived at school the day after the election, their white teachers and principals declared to them in essence, “If any of them said anything about the election results they would be written up and sent home for disruptive behavior!” I couldn’t believe it! God knows that if that was my children, I would have been at the Superintendent’s office before the sun had set. My hosts went on to say that it is nothing to stop at a red light and a pick-up pull up next to you shouting obscenities, using the “N” word. Mississippi burning again? But that spirit does not just prevail in Mississippi or the South. The Obama election has spurred several race threats and crimes. Police have documented a range of alleged hate crimes, from vandalism and vague threats to at least one physical attack, since the election of Barack Obama. In fact it has been noted that the days after the election, there have been record gun sales. Below is a link to an article that recently appeared on msn.com that talks about the rise of racism and hate crimes. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27738018/from/ET/ Unfortunately racism yet prevails in our nation, but change will come….CHANGE HAS COME! Enjoy your families and count your blessings! --- AGBrady | | | Permalink | Trackback |

| Re: MISSISSIPPI BURNING AGAIN? | By Michelle on 11/26/2008 | | Happy Thanksgiving Everyone. May God Bless You All. Please take the time to give a hug today or to tell someone that you love and appreciate him or her....S Bishop Brady I'm surprise that this complaint regarding teachers threaten to write their students up for uttering President Elect Obama's victory did not infuriate those in the community enough to do anything about it, let alone it hasn't reached local and national news..... Just Like Sister Jacquie Hays said that most of us, African Americans in particular, "ARE TOO DOWN RIGHT SCARE,"to fight for what is right, and to take possession according to God's promise to us. It's a shame, because we'd came a long way....Now, I will tell you that I can't watch movies like Mississippi Burning and remain save...LOL... So I stay away from it. |

| Re: MISSISSIPPI BURNING AGAIN? | By Mark Tolbert Kansas City Mo 11/27/08 on 11/27/2008 | | Thank you Bishop Brady for your continued effort to make these conversations open for dialogue. For too long we have had to act like these things did not happen. But just like the Jenna 6 and other events we have to get involved from around the nation and voice our opinion. It is a fact that some people are just so mean and selfish they dont ever want any other people to rise to prominence in this country. Slavery was not just racist it was economic. Black folks built this nation and now the scripture is being fulfiled. the first shall be last and the last shall be first. Someone asked me if I was voting for Barack because he was a black man I looked back at them and asked are you not voting for him because he is a black man. The fact that 43 presidents have been white does not matter to many (not all) white folks. We have seen the prejudice here in Missouri, which did not go the Obama colum by just a few thousand votes. Racism is alive and well in the US but with Gods power and our persistence we will get a financial leg up during this administration and move our chances of never being pushed to the bottom again. MIssissippi is not the only place where there is rampid racism so we must speak out in Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio, and where ever else racism sticks up its ugly head to let those who persist in this mindset of racism; change has come not just to america <br>Change has come to my street in America. Thanks for the opportunity to voice my opinion.. |

| Re: MISSISSIPPI BURNING AGAIN? | By Eric on 11/27/2008 | | We are battling the same spirit in Texas. Some Caucasians are refusing to accept the fact that this election was God orchestrated and no matter happened it had to come to pass. I have tried to express to some of them that we are all Americans and at the end of the day we have to unite. And yes, gun sales and the licensing process has spiked. Some of them are looking for a so called revolution. They openly show their disapproval on my job and I try to ignore them while at the same time letting them know that I am not afraid. There have always been some Caucasians who have not allowed hatred to cloud their conscience and I believe that regardless we must not let our guards down in prayer and ask God for wisdom to refute their arguments, defeat their evil mindsets and most of all, to cover the President Elect from evil plots designed either to derail or destroy him. The writer before is right… We have come too far to be afraid or as some people would say, ”I ain’t scared!” We have a right to the quality of life without reprisal. |

| Re: MISSISSIPPI BURNING AGAIN? | By Bishop Keith on 11/27/2008 | | Let's not forget that Barak won the election by a margin of 2 to 1 and he could not have done that withoutn an overwhelmingly white vote. However it is not surprising to me to hear of such things as to what those teachers said. We still have that element of evil to deal with. And it's those elements assasinate people. So we have to pray God's devine protection around the president elect and his family. When we have people like Rush Limbaugh, Shaun Hannity and Bill Riley stoking the fires of hatred we will continue to see continiued hatred against the president elect. We also have a responsibility to confront in a loving way the lack of knowledge by those around us who will continue to voice their displeasure at a !/2 black 1/2 white man gaining the presidency of the USA. There is a new day dawning and we have a short window of oppertunity to do great things before Jesus comes. HAVE A GFREAT THANKSGIVING EVERYBODY. Bishop Brady be blessed you and your family. Long to see you in Baltimore. |

| Re: MISSISSIPPI BURNING AGAIN? | By Carlton on 11/27/2008 | | Bishop, again thanks for being relevent!!! This election process has brough out the best and the worst of what America is. It's a shame that America had to be at the point of financial ruin for something like this to happen (an AfricanAmericen being elected). I too had a very uncomfortable experience, the after the election everyone one at work was quiet. No one talked about the election, mind you there are only two African American in my office. The janitor and the security guard were whispering when I walked up, I stated to them that they did not have to whisper, I actually engaged them in a hearty conversation about the history making event only to remind then that the days of whispering for fear of being heard are over. But contrary, it's time to speak out, it's time to be heard. The two gentlemen who are much my seniors came back the next day and thanked me for reminding them that those days are long past...Bishop speak out!!! Continue to let your voice be heard. |

| Re: MISSISSIPPI BURNING AGAIN? | By Evang. Angela Parker, St. Louis, MO on 11/28/2008 | | It is so very sad that in the year of 2008 we still have to experience prejudice to this extreme in any city of the United States of America. I have been watching the news constantly during the past several months and have not heard about these incidents. We need to know that there are people that are still living in the "stone ages" and they don't want to see this country move to a climate where all people will be treated equal and we know that there are so many reasons why people hate other people because of their race. Inspite of all the hatred, we are moving forward and what we have just witnessed in this past presidential election, most of us never thought that we would witness such a historical moment in our lifetime. We must stand strong and unite as never before and that will take the cooperation of all mankind; African Americans did not put Obama in the White House alone, people all over the country are ready for "change." We must continue to pray against the spirit of evil that works in the heart of man to make him/her think evil of people based on the color of their skin, etc. Thank you Bishpop Brady for this update, we need to know what is going on so that we can watch, pray and take a stand as Christians; knowing that united in prayer we can make a difference in this world, reaching out to Almighty God on behalf of all of His people. |

| Re: MISSISSIPPI BURNING AGAIN? | By gittysbug on 11/30/2008 | | Listen brothers and sisters, dont forget that we are not in heaven or in the thousand year period when Christ will rule. This type of thing will happen until Jesus come. But will we sit down and allow it until Jesus come? That is the question. Why has God given us the power to witness? He gave it to us so that we can go into the hedges and highways and compel men, women, boys and girls to turn from their evil ways. Michelle, I am suprised at you. I thought you could watch people eat rats and it didnt bother you. You are a might son of God in a female body. Shame on you Michelle (LOL). We will fight people and the devil. Let us never forget that the church is here for a reason. America is a country founded on Christian principles, but we have sought out many inventions. Yes, we may not understand the ways of man, but we understand the whys (sin). Let us show men their sin, then they will see their wrong. If they see their wrong without seeing their sin, they will not change. |

| Re: MISSISSIPPI BURNING AGAIN? | By Jacquie on 12/1/2008 | | While reading Suff Bish Brady's comments about the situation with the school children, it brought back memories when my family moved to Youngstown. This very thing happened to us, my daughter called me at work during her lunch hour and told me the while boys at the school where throwing pennies and things at she and one other black girl in the lunch line and it seemed no one was getting this situation under control. Well needless to say, when I got the called I called my husband at work and told him to meet me at the high school because I was on my way there. Upon arriving at the school there was much going on in the prinicipals office and I could hear my daughter's voice through the door. The secretary asked me to wait but that was ludicrous, they could have been doing anything to her. I marched myself into the office where she and the other young lady were along with their abusers. Immediately I wanted to know why on earth would you have them in the same room at the same time especially when you as authorities can't bring a calmness to the situation. Well, my husband and the mother of the other girl had arrived and also walked in to find that the boy had gotten in my face and of course when he did that my daughter lunged from across the room it became a very bad scene. Needless to say we went all the way to the school board and had a meeting of all students and all parents and all authorities involved. At that point I let them know without a shadow of doubt that we were here in this place and here to stay until we decide to move, so suck up your racism and get used to it, because we are not from this prejudice place and we will not tolerate abuse by their children. My daughter told me the next day they began the day with a prayer assembly. This was in 1975 and from that time until this, we have lived in every suburb, even the ones we were told that were off limits to us and never had a bit of problem. One suburb we lived in a prophet friend from another state came to see us and told us that God has used us in this city to break down the barrier of racism. Mind you he never knew about our incident when moving here. He only knew what God told him. I work in the most treacherous county in the state of Ohio and am still working on that spirit. That is why I can testify first hand. Once in North Carolina while living their I went to see a house, on the phone they couldn't tell I was black, but when I got there, the house was sold, instant sale LOL. I was only being prepared to fight the battles I have here. I was a black girl reared in St. Paul. MN and never experienced racism until I married and moved away. Although my uncle was a high authority in the EEOC back in the day. My cousin an attorney was in that same position in Washington DC until he retired. So I had much back up to tell me I didn't have to settle for someone not liking the color of my skin. Today I supervise a staff of all white and 1 puerto rican female and because of God they love me and also voted for Barack Obama. We have most times been the only blacks in our neighborhood and let our all white neighbors know that the stigmatism that they have is and has been just a stigmatism. We can overcome like Martin Luther King prophesied years ago. We will ovecome. About three days before the election, I had to minister in Columbus, Oh. God had me take a scripture from Esther, when she had to go and see the King or she, her family and her people would be destroyed. God had me tell them " Your Quietness Will Destroy A Nation", that word is for us in the time we live. We must pray, speak out and counter this spirit which resides in many places. But you have to realize what Bish Keith stated Mr. Obama won 2-1 therefore, the white nation had to put him in office. Gittysbug you have to realize even though we have the Holy Ghost, we are still living in a human world and issues like this do affect you, no matter how Holy Ghost you have. Its the Holy Ghost that keeps you from totally going off and not taking the same spirit of hatred out on another. Love you Suff Bish and appreciate this time to express ourselves. Now that we all agree there is a Giant to come down, let's bind together and dismantle the Giant. |

| Re: MISSISSIPPI BURNING AGAIN? | By Jacquie on 12/1/2008 | | forgive the wrong spelled words, i.e. their meant there. While meaning White boys, etc. <br><br><br>Thanks, I really do know how to spell LOL |

| Re: MISSISSIPPI BURNING AGAIN? | By Tina Combs on 12/2/2008 | | Sfgn Bishop, please continue to keep us informed. We definitely don't hear these kinds of story in Denver; thus, I stream a station daily from Atlanta to try and stay somewhat informed. I believe we as African-Americans may again, as they did in the sixties, have to publicly take a stand against racism and social injustices. But this time, the church leaders need to be a part of the process. The church is enjoying many of the benefits of those who put their lives on the line and marched for freedom, but many churches really did not participate. The children of Israel never would have left Egypt if Moses had decided it was someone else's job to lead the fight for freedom. Of course he was assigned to this task by God, but what is the church's assignment today in regards to social injustices and racism? Is the church prepared and equipped to be an instrument to not only free souls from sin, but to free people from social injustices and racism? Something to ponder!!! Our young black males are still being incarcerated at a rate 2-3 times that of their white counterpart. Is it because they are committing more of the crimes? Not so! It is because of the unjust justice system with laws designed with the purpose of devaluing and destroying our young black males. Fewer males in homes means disrupted and weakened families, or no families. Weakened families produce weakened communities and weakened communities produce a weakened culture of people, specifically African-Americans. If we are going to rise as a people and never be pushed down again by racism as Bishop Tolbert says - then we must fight against those systems that are designed to destroy us as a people. Again, something to ponder.<br><br> |

| Re: MISSISSIPPI BURNING AGAIN? | By Matthew Redmond on 12/3/2008 | | People in Mississipi and other states were Violence is a prevelent and reoccuring Issue need to do What the Bible calles a SELF-EXAMINATION and they need to be empowered in a way so that individually and collectively they value tolerance, understanding, respect for diversity and non-violent ways of resolving problems. __________________________________________________________<br>For the People to whom the violence is launched God's SPEED! |

| Re: MISSISSIPPI BURNING AGAIN? | By Matthew Redmond on 12/3/2008 | | THIS IS THE YEAR OF THE SAINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
|
| Re: MISSISSIPPI BURNING AGAIN? | By gittysbug on 12/4/2008 | | Matthew, what about next year? Do we stop being what we are next year seeing this is our year? Please explain! According to the scriptures, there is never a time when the saints are not progressing and making things happen. There is continuity between Jesus’ command to his disciples before he was taken up into heaven, and his revelation to the Apostle John on the isle of Patmos. There is a consistency that reflects the power of faith which the Church exhibit on a daily bases, and our original commission, that the nation of Israel failed to fulfill. What I don’t want is for the saints to do get into a mentality that we are “Eventful.” The only events that will shape us are those that have been already documented in the scriptures. Every day is our day, every month is our month and every year is our year. Case and point- in the year 2008, many preachers are preaching new beginning for the saints. We are all going to be blessed, as if we are not blessed already. They say we are all going to be prosperous and there will not be any lack. OKAY! But, I say we are blessed because we are saved, and some of us have been made a Blessing. When December 31 comes, I hope some of these prophets tell the story of the day. But I also hope that today God will increase me to be a blessing. I am looking forward to next year, if I don’t die or if the rapture doesn’t happen, because God is going to give me the city. |

| Re: MISSISSIPPI BURNING AGAIN? | By Albert on 12/8/2008 | | Excellent blog! It is good to see and hear so many people of God discussing issues and taking a stand against social injustices, prejudice spirits, and racist attitudes that yet permeate our society. For years, since the end of the civil rights movement, it appears that the modern day church as a whole has been silent concerning anything considered secular or non-spiritually motivated. As a young man, I am encouraged to read the varying viewpoints and thoughts about these and likened matters affecting the Body of Christ, our nation, and the world abroad, as a whole. Thank you Bishop for creating a forum in which both our spirit and mind can be equally stimulated and challenged. |

| Re: MISSISSIPPI BURNING AGAIN? | By Bishop Charles A. Sims on 12/8/2008 | | Bishop Brady, thank you for your observations regarding the evil spirit of racism that is still very much alive and "not well" in this country. Racism is indeed a deadly sickness which is in the very fiber of our society. Unfortunately, there are many individuals who are yet living in the past, and fortunately, there are yet others who understand that we are living in a new day. Our evangelical friends and those individuals who are members of the "Christian community" must understand that racism is just as much of a sin as other unacceptable behavior and practices which may be accepted by some segments of our society of which the Word of God opposes. It has been said that "if so called preachers and Bible believing Christians would have stood up and condemned racism in the early days of our country that it never would have gotten the foothold that it did". There are some so called christians who feel that it's alright to hate an individual because of the color of their skin.<br>I live in hope that through the grace of God that enough good people will support what is right and that those who are yet living in the past will be in the minority. Yes, we have come a very long ways, but we have a long ways to go. Our prayer are always with President Elect Obama and his lovely family. Thank you Bishop Brady for your excellent commentary of what's happening now. |

| Re: MISSISSIPPI BURNING AGAIN? | By Jacquie on 12/9/2008 | | I want to address the statement by gittysbug addressing the statement made by Matthew. " This is the year of the Saints". gittysbug our God is a progressive God and yes we are to live holy daily and our salvation is a daily thing, but every promise God made is assigned to a time. Bishop Wagner preached a message, "Capture the Holy Time" and also one called "Sacred Calls for Secular Places". The time that God has called the Body of Christ to attention is now. We have sacred calls for secular places, we now have a commission to go and sit on the judges benches, attorney's in the courtrooms, and Tina, Justice can be and will be done. The problem with the world now is that we haven't had enough God thinking people in places of authority. We need praying and qualified people to sit in these places. Because as our Bishop states education without revelation is chaos. We can no longer feel like our education is enough but we need the revelation of God to have dominion over. It is impossible to rule without the direction of God. The promises God made to his people are definitely assigned to a time, but you must also remember that power resides in a place and blessings go to the place, not the person. The Saint must be in the place. "The Saints of the most High shall take the Kingdom." There is no way that President Elect Barack Obama would be where he is today without the commission of God first and the prayers of the people of God. It will take the Saints prayers to keep him, protect him and direct him. There was a time where church and state were definitely separate. It was almost a sin for education let alone the social events of this life. Most of our problems are we cannot balance living holy in a world of humanity. We have always misinterpreted what Holiness really is. Holiness is a lifestyle just as worship is, simply that we have been set aside for the master's use. Now the Master wants to use us in Harvest Time. It is Harvest time but the laborers have been few, now it is time that we take God's Kingdom for the Glory of God and God alone. We shall rule in the Educational System, In the Financial System, In the Entertainment World, In The Government System and throughout the world. We have come to the Kingdom for such a time as this. |

| Re: MISSISSIPPI BURNING AGAIN? | By gittysbug on 12/9/2008 | | By Jacquie on 12/9/2008- You are a very insightful and interesting saint. I love reasoning with you and responding to anything you have to say. Keep up the good work. Your presence on this blog will bring others here as well. I really hope that many who don’t know the Lord will find their way here. Now, in response to your comments. Every day is our day. Every year is our year. There are appointed times and there are time when we have to know who we are and whose we are. Most of the saints lost their civil identity because they stayed behind the four walls of the church building. In the beginning it was not so. We were created to have dominion over the works of God’s hands. We should be in every discipline in this world. It was the church leaders that told us to ‘serve the Lord’ and don’t worry about this world. They said that ‘We are pilgrims just passing through.’ I understand the philosophy and the time in which that philosophy was paramount, but I also know the time we live now and our responsibility to the world. We are he world’s only hope. You stated godly that the saints should be in judicial places so that justice can run like a mighty river. We must pray for our president, and all them that are in authority. We are the armor that will keep them safe. Concerning the harvest, the laborer are many but lazy. We have allowed the new technology to be 98% of our witness. Except for the pulpit our mouths are closed. What a shame. I am happy to see that your insight on holiness is the same as mine; however this is subjective, but true. We have taken the kingdom, now lets take the kingdom to the kingdom. Esther was in a natural kingdom. Jesus has placed us in a spiritual kingdom with power. God bless and keep preaching with those fingers. (LOL) |

| Re: MISSISSIPPI BURNING AGAIN? | By jacquie on 12/22/2008 | | Matthew and gittysbug, i just believe that God has had those hidden for such a time as this but time has brought about the change which is about to take place. There will be Men of God in High Places, in all of those systems and that is how we will possess it. The Time has come that the we as Saints will dominate and possess and take our rightful ownership. I believe the saints will not have to worry about finances as the majority of the people of God have had to do. Through our struggles and experiences we have picked up knowledge and wisdom, but we need God to dominate our way of thinking. We need God's mind in all that we do especially in running a WORLD |
|
| Re: MISSISSIPPI BURNING AGAIN? | By gittysbug on 12/23/2008 | | Merry Christmas to all and a Happy New Year in America. Response to jacquie on 12/22/2008. Thanks for your inspiring comments. I hope that many more saints come out of the closet (Okay). Gen 1: 28 states that God gave human beings the dominion over the works of his hands. Whether we are saved or not, we have to take care of God’s world. It is a shame that the saved allowed their brothers and sisters according to the flesh to take a more active roll in certain disciplines than they. It is true that the doors have swung wide opened and saved people (Pentecostals-because others are leading) are getting more involved in government and management. From my experience as an Apostolic Pentecostal believer, we were told we couldn’t be part of the police force, the military and other law enforcement agencies. I live in the Connecticut district. The same person that told us such things is a pastor. Now, that very same person is the Connecticut State Police Commissioner or something like that. What an evolution of thinking. God has not released us because he never had us in bondage. It was and is our very own leaders. But I thank God for saints like Jacquie. Lead the way my dear, lead the way. |
|
| Re: MISSISSIPPI BURNING AGAIN? | By jacquie on 1/5/2009 | | Happy New Years to all of you on the Brady Blog and I command a blessing upon each one of you. This is definitely the year of the saints and we shall possess the kingdom for God's sake. gittysbug you have to chalk the mind-set of no politics up to the old manner of thinking, since God is progressive we can't stay in one place or two. We will be dispersed throughout the world systems to possess and occupy. We will rule the political world, financial, entertainment, educational systems. The Church of the Most High God will have dominion and it is time now to move to our places or get off the pot. God is depending on us. How else will we reach the world, if we aren't involved in those different areas. i am sure that the Holy Ghost which will lead and guide us into all truth will certainly keep us saved while being involved and ruling the systems. Music and Entertainment will be at the top of the list for Holy Ghost filled saints. Who can pray as well as play (role play that is ) Watch God he is going to do phenominal things before he comes back, so that the world can see that he is Soveriegn and that He can do what he wants to do with whomever He wishes. What a glorious time to be living. |

| Re: MISSISSIPPI BURNING AGAIN? | By jacquie on 1/5/2009 | | gittysbug we can still be consciencious objectors when going to war, but we have save police and deputy sheriff in the church and I just believe God is their covering and they will have more control than those truly believing that they only survive with their gun power, especially in the hood LOL<br> |
|
| Re: MISSISSIPPI BURNING AGAIN? | By Matthew on 1/5/2009 | | what about a Holy ghost Filled fire Baptist President in the future! talking about taking dominion PLease pray for my family member Keneth Blackwell, he is running for Republican nation commt Chairman! pray that he wins!!! and Michael Steele from Maryland is running aswell I but family comes first!!! |
|
| Re: MISSISSIPPI BURNING AGAIN? | By gittysbug on 1/7/2009 | | By jacquie on 1/5/2009- I truly believe that we have the free will to apply conscientious objector to our objections to war. However, what do we do if war is in our back door? And what will a saved policeman do if faced with pulling the trigger of their gun? I say protect your country which houses your family, and pull the trigger when someone has violated the very law you are hired to enforce. If it had not been for war the slaved would not have been freed. I believe that the emancipation of the Black African Slaves was a divine move of God. I wonder how many black slaves were conscientious objectors between 1515 and 1863. LOL. Freedom causes many philosophies to be developed. <br><br>Matthew, what about a Holy Ghost filled person in the White House regardless of the denominational affiliation. In Christ there is neither Republican nor Democrat, there is neither Baptist nor PAW. LOL. We will pray for you and you can pray for your family members to be elected in these offices. When it comes to things like putting people in offices, I don’t pray to put people I don’t know in office. But because they are Republicans, I will make exceptions. Just kidding. <br> |
|
| Re: MISSISSIPPI BURNING AGAIN? | By Matthew Redmond on 1/8/2009 | | lord if I am mis quotedin black and white I don't know what will happen when I run for office!!! gittysbug Read what I wrote again and let me know what denomination I was refering to!! if any! |
|
| Re: MISSISSIPPI BURNING AGAIN? | By gittysbug on 1/9/2009 | | Matthew -this is what you said, "What about a Baptist President in the future." Simply stated you are asking a question about a saved person who is Baptist being elected to the office of President. If you meant Holy Ghost filled fire Baptized President, you wrote it wrong. I'm sorry if I misunderstood what you are saying. But if a person that has a denominational title of Baptist is in the White House, that’s fine with me. Only God can put one there. I will vote for them, and hope he doesn’t turn out like Jimmy Carter. But again God placed him there. LOL. |
|
| Re: MISSISSIPPI BURNING AGAIN? | By Matthew on 1/11/2009 | | your right I misspelled the word baptized! Cheers for the correction! |
