Confirmed

Sunday Sermon Notes
Confirmation Day
John 21:1-19


I cried all

morning, and when

I rubbed your back you

shood me away at

first. But then, you

leaned into it

because you

love me. And there you

were, in your dad’s

shoes--

because I said you couldn’t

get confirmed in

flip-flops--

so tall, with that

earnest look and I kept

remembering when

you were baptized; only

eight years old, you

rolled your eyes the

entire time and I was

humiliated. But today, you

stood like a man—my firstborn,

no more disport,                                                    

official Body part

now. The words on the

screen were about fishing;

about going back to

what is comfortable. But there’s

no going back, not now. Not

ever.

You have always been

His.
