==Introduction==
I was baptized in a friend's swimming pool when I was aged 15. I could have been baptized in the church with water sprinkled on me, but I liked the idea of getting dunked in the water more. So, my family and the rest of the congregation found themselves standing around a backyard swimming pool, whilst my sister (who was also being baptized), the church minister and I found ourselves trembling in our bathers in the cold water. It was the week of Australian Grand Prix, and much larger crowds of people witnessed the racing cars than witnessed my declaration that Jesus is Lord. Yet even as I was plunged under the water, the crowds at the car race did witness this declaration, for as I stepped out of the pool, in the sky in large letters, the words “Jesus is Lord” were written. Aren’t coincidences amazing?! A Christian who was also a pilot had decided that a wonderful way to proclaim Jesus to the multitudes was to write in the sky.
