I Graduate from Seminary Today!

Today is the end of a 6 year journey of
studying to get my Masters in Theology
as I graduate from Talbot Seminary.
Thank you Jesus!

Marie, our kids, My parents, in-laws
sister and brother-in-laws, my sister,
friends Josh and Rose and my beloved Aunt Shirley
will all join us tonight for a dinner
to celebrate.

It should be a great day.

Did you know...
Legend has it,
Graduation ceremonies first begun
in the 1432 at Oxford University
in England.

Back than, graduates had to recite a
sermon in Latin
in order to graduate.

Thankfully, I don't have to recite any sermons
in Latin tonight, I simply have to avoid tripping
as I cross the stage.

I am so grateful for the opportunity to study theology
and I pray God uses my training for his
Glory!
