Pomp and Circumstance

There is just something special about graduation ceremonies… the graduates all in their robes marching in line to the music, everyone standing proud to celebrate the hard work and achievement of a loved one, and the sheer elation on the graduate’s face (as Nathan demonstrates so well in this photo) when they receive their diploma! Last weekend was filled with excitement as we celebrated with family and friends and Nathan received his Master’s Degree in Biblical Studies! As if we weren’t proud enough, he was also surprised at his baccalaureate chapel with the honor of receiving the Willard M. Aldrich Biblical Studies Award “presented to the graduating master’s student who has demonstrated the highest level of academic scholarship in the areas of biblical studies, theological research and exegesis”! Are we surprised? !

A big thank you to all of you who were so supportive and encouraging these last two years! We couldn’t have done it without you!

That is awesome, Nathan. I now see my prior congratulations were nowhere near enough. Am I suprised? Sort of, but sort of not. Best of two graduating students is not saying much, but it's still something... Ha! You brainy stud! God bless ya.
