He was baptized in the Russian Orthodox Church as an infant. He went to church with his mother till he was about 10. He then was pretty ambivalent about the things of God. He allowed our children to attend Lutheran day school, and went to some of their programs and came to church with me infrequently. He started reading the Bible at the suggestion of a friend. When he got to this section of Romans it was like a light went on, or maybe I should say exploded! He was restored to faith. His baptismal faith was renewed. He was confirmed in the LCMS after going through instruction. <br />Mary KrutaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-90781430563015799462016-05-25T09:10:41.869-05:002016-05-25T09:10:41.869-05:00God be merciful to me a sinner.
