This Is My Beloved Husband – John Gets Baptized

The Bible was written by fallible men.

I believe in the science of evolution.

I bet people in your church couldn’t name one native plant of Maryland.

John Dolphin, 1999

These were some things John would often say when we first met and he found out I was a Christian. Needless to say, in the beginning, he was often critical of everything I believed in. I wasn’t phased, however, prayers began for him to see the truth. Based on other topics of our conversations, I could see that he was a man who more or less liked the truth. He was also consistent in his beliefs. It was refreshing to meet someone who wanted to save the whales and at the same time didn’t want to abort babies.

Fast Forward to 2022. Many prayers were said, over all those years, by me, my family, and my friends, John made a decision to follow Jesus. It was quite an eventful day at the house, and in spite of all the drama going on that day, everyone was thrilled for John.

Now, back in Australia, I got to see my husband get baptized.

When he accepted Jesus, he followed that with a heart attack, so naturally I teased him a lot about what happens after a baptism.

The body of Christ is a body at prayer.
