1997: Victor's baptism

I found the photo below while digging through my desk at the office. It's from 1997 or thereabouts. We had a baptism one time at a friend's house. A bunch of youth got baptized. This is Victor, who was living in my home at the time. My home was "community." We not only shared a home with another family and a single person (or two - don't quite remember). We lived in "common purse," with one checkbook for all of us. We put our cash together, shared bills, cooked, lived, and ministered together. It was a good life. It made it possible for us to minister deeply to youth like Victor. Yes, that's me from about 10 years ago. And there's my beautiful bride right next to me. She was in the water, right in the middle of things. See the young Mexican kid in the upper right, sitting on the edge of the pool? That's Ventura. He had sweet seats at Saturday's Galaxy Game / David Beckham LA soccer premiere.
