Today was a special day in the life of our family. At 2:00 PM, most of our families gathered for a family dedication. All of our parents and siblings were present. Many church members came.
Rev. Bill Barton, founder of the Home of Grace, and Senior Pastor of Wade Baptist Church (Moss Point, MS), spoke. Bro. Bill is my father in the ministry. He is 83 and still going strong pastoring one of the fastest growing churches in Mississippi. I served on staff with him for several years.
Also, Bro. Bill's wife, Jean Barton, spoke. She shared about the two children they adopted. Tragically, one of their adopted children was killed in a motorcycle accident when she was a teen.

My father, Max Price, prayed the prayer of dedication. This was an unforgettable and humbling time. My brother John, pastor of FBC Charleston, MS, gave the closing prayer.
Last, we partied. We had two "inflatables" in the church activities building. The kids had a blast. This is a day long in coming, but precious in its observance.
