Scripture of the Day : Mathew 28:19 "Go, therefore, and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit" Getting the Point: Baptism is a requirement. It in itself  dose not guarantee salvation. All it is is an outward show of faith. That is why I can't understand baptizing an infant. It dose not make any sense. Each individual must come to have faith and then dedicate their life to God in prayer in private and then with the symbol of water immersion. He wants us to choose to serve him freely.

In today's record of the day it clearly shows who died, when and where. However it failed to highlight the why? When you pull up the actual record it's there. Lucinda Oneal "O'Neal" died of dysentery but on the actual record of death in the file it doesn't tell you that.  Also, what frustrated me was the fact that there was no mention of where she was buried. Information it did hold which I was great ful for however was whom her parents were Daniel and...
