On December 28th, 2008 Makenzie was baptized at Ascension Lutheran Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma. This is the church where I grew up in until I was in 5th grade. I had my first communion here. My parents, when they moved back to Oklahoma, rejoined this church. Even though Ken was raised nondenominational, he thought it was fine to have her baptized, since I was raised to believe in it. It was the same with me for the baby dedication. It is hard to raise a child in a family where there are different religious backgrounds. However, I feel that the most important thing to teach our children is that God loves us, he sent his son to die for us, and when we accept Jesus as our savior, confess our sins, God will forgive our sins and we will spend eternity in heaven. If Makenzie decides later on that she wants to rededicate her life to God, I will support her in every way!
