From the day we are baptized, our Christian lives begin. From the moment the waters of baptism flow over our heads, we begin to live a different kind of life--one that follows Jesus the Christ and uses his life as a model for ours. Our Christian life becomes a journey. Sometimes it is a joyful journey. Sometimes it is frustrating or painful. Sometimes it is a great challenge. Yet we do not live our Christian lives in a lonely vacuum. We have a Christian community of faith to support us, to ask questions, to answer questions, to help us all explore questions beyond our comfortable borders
