The feeling could best be described as heaven. Danny felt a divine bliss as she emerged from the water. She had savored every second of being submerged in its freezing cold embrace. Loving the feeling of her long blonde hair being tugged as it was suspended in the water. Her skin now tingled as it met the warm air. Is that it? And my born again? She whispered to Pastor Martin, the young black church leader who stood by the edge of the stone pool. Yes, he whispered with a smile. Danny stepped out of the pool, dripping water on the floor. The caring young pastor quickly handed her a towel. It's likely she would have never given church ago if it wasn't for him. His kind smile and youthful enthusiasm kept bringing her back. She owed her life to the church, as did many lost souls in this crime riddled city. It gave them one thing they needed the most hope. ST Lukes wasn't the only house of God offering respite from the anarchy. It was one in a cluster of churches situated in the east side district, somewhere new, somewhere old, but all were sorely needed. Just 20 minutes drive away was a long stretch of road, purely dedicated to nocturnal entertainment. A moral vacuum known as the Strip Danny had endured her fair share of regretful incidents on its cursed ground and hoped she would never end up back there. My past is forgotten now, she reminded herself for the first time in her life she felt clean and pure. Finally her past could die and lay and rest as she rubbed herself dry Danny's mind was in too much of a days to take in what Pastor martin was saying, Her eyes drifted, appreciating her quaint and warm surroundings. The sun illuminated the colorful stained glass window shaped like a shield Danny soaked up every ounce of its energy. The young pastor climbed a few small steps to the raised floor, his red shirt and matching tie still stained from the water, which had not yet dried Danny with the help of one of the congregation, finished drying herself and rushed to change in the back room. She returned as soon as possible, so not to miss Pastor martin speak his message, taking her seat on the front row next to her proud boyfriend joseph. She squeezed his hand and gave him a peck on the cheek. She could feel the weight of the water on her damp hair. She knew she might well look a mess, but she didn't care. I'm free and I'm truly blessed God willing. She would marry joseph in this very church next year. Soon after that she wanted to start a family. There was no more time to waste. A whole new life was starting for her and no one had to know of her old one. As she looked at joseph, his head bowed in prayer. Her mind drifted to the past. Are the other girls still at the brothel did my angel, sweet southern bobby ever leave baptism. Pastor martin announced loudly, elongating and emphasizing the back end of his words, We have just witnessed a baptism, an amazing life changing event. What does it actually mean? It means you have been born again in God's image. You are a new person and everything around you is new, the sky is new, the trees are new. More importantly, the way you look at life is new, it's redemption, a rebirth and you know what the best thing about it is anyone can have it. It doesn't matter who you are and what you have done, Timothy 44 reads for everything God created is good and nothing is to be rejected if it's received with thanksgiving. So I declare a new message, one not of condemnation or damnation, but one of hope and glory.
