I got baptized today

The angels rejoice, brother.

"Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents."
-Luke 15:10
 
Heartfelt blessings to you! 58 years old not long ago, and I did it too.
Very difficult to confirm being a 'free-thinker' without having seen and experienced the rituals and pageantry from the other side of the fence. I too underwent the rites of baptism, via the Roman Catholic Church, one and a half years ago. For me it was uplifting to experience a lot of genuinely caring parishioners rejoice in witnessing 'a pail of water' being ceremonially thrown over my head. Religion is many things to many people not least of which is admitting to formally identifying with a specific group.
And yet I still retain the unshakeable belief that "we" belong only to the 'family of man' and that G.O.D. may in fact be a western civilization acronym towards attaining the greater good: 'Meaning Of Life'.
 
I just read that your friend is doing better.
Your Baptism was a GREAT way of giving THANKS.
 
Good on you--All things are possible through Jesus Christ. Every day is still a struggle with satan, but with the Holy Spirit to help you it is a lot easier.
