Sam's Schoolwork - Religion - Personal Response, Pg. 75

I have been baptized. I was baptized quite a few years ago, though, so I don't remember much. I remember that I was more thinking about how cold the water was (I was baptized in the lake in winter or almost-winter. Brrr.) than how it affects me. Truth be told, my baptism was not a major turning point in my life; rather, it was more like I had always been baptized. I grew up in a christian home, and have been living for God all my life. I don't really feel any different then as I do now, but I don't really think that it is a bad thing. I can see the areas that I need to change, and what God has done in me already. I think that God does use past events to affect how we grow; how can it not? People change and view their past differently, and sometimes learn new things or realize what God wants from them all along.
