A Deacon

We have a new Deacon in the house.
Ben just turned 12 years old yesterday. For those of us who belong
to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, it's a mile-
stone birthday. That's the birthday when a young boy leaves the kids
in primary behind and graduates to the young men program. But most
importantly, he is ordained to the Aaronic Priesthood. It is a big
step in him becoming a successful man, priesthood holder,
missionary, and father.
Like his father before him, he will learn to serve in the offices of
the priesthood, acting in the name of God. A pretty awesome thought.
He also finished his requirements for his Faith in God Award.
I'd say he's off to a great start.
