Eli's Dedication

Cody and I dedicated Eli to the Lord on Sunday June 13, 2010. Many people think that baby dedication is the same as baptisim. While they are both public displays to the Lord, baptism declares that a person has been saved and that they are laying down their own life and walking with the Lord in a new life. Baby dedication is when parents promise to raise their child under the Lord's authority and that the child belongs to God first.

So Cody and I dedicated Eli. It was a special time for us. Even though we would raise Eli under the Lord's authority despite dedication, it was nice to have the support of our family and church family.
