Living In the Moment
While visiting the Jordan River, Franklin wrote that there was no minister on duty as they expected so he answered a call from God to step in. “I wasn’t anticipating that God had me in mind to be the minister on duty. LOL! At first, I said “no way” then I said ‘whatever God’s will is, I will do’ so we rented a robe, I threw on my shorts and did as I had been trained to do (been a long time since I did a baptism). I baptized 3 beautiful souls in the Jordan River! And the peace that fell on all of us was amazing!”

Out With the Old
“You gotta look 2017 in the face and ask yourself: HOW BAD DO YOU WANT IT,” wrote Franklin as the caption for this photo where he’s seen posing covered in mud from the dead sea, which is said to kill old skin cells. He continued, “I put it on my entire body, I don’t want anything dead in my life coming with me into 2017. In order to be reborn, you must die first. Welcome to the Rebirth!!
