“Though we want to be anonymous at times, but perhaps our biggest fear…is when it matters…when it counts…we won’t be known….we won't be known by God.  Through the baptismal waters, we are claimed and introduced into the eternal family of God.  Through our faith and belief in Jesus, we are claimed and introduced into God’s eternal family.  And now we can do more than just believe….our actions can line up with Jesus’ teachings.  We are not anonymous.  We are known.  May we take that introduction and be bold.  Be faithful. And do unto others as we would have them do unto us. ”
