Today’s service at Rock City Church wasn’t your normal Sunday on many levels. It’s not often that I have tears streaming down my face on a Sunday morning. Today, however, I did. I cried tears of pure joy as my 11 year old and first born child was baptized. Words cannot describe what it felt like at that moment.
