You know for most of my life I have been in school. In fact I don’t remember a time that I wasn’t in some sort of formal education. Now I know that some folks can remember when they were very little BUT I am not one of them… All I remember is no matter what was going on in my life, from Monday through Friday I was in school.
Just as I have started school there always came a point in which it ended. I have graduated several times now (5 times I believe), and this upcoming Saturday I will add another one to that list.
I will be graduating from Seminary with my Master of Divinity. I have been attending Baptist Bible Seminary since the fall of 2009. This graduate degree program was about 90 credit hours (if not just a bit more ) for me. Before I choose this institution I was looking at getting my Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology which at some schools was about a 60 credit hour degree. So we are talking a bit more work if you haven’t noticed. 😉 Nonetheless the last few years have been worth it. I have truly grown as a leader and as an individual.
This Saturday many people will be at this ceremony to see their loved walks receive their diploma. To be honest I really didn’t want to go. I have never wanted to go to my graduations. However this one is a bit different. I am proud to walk across the stage as I will be representing my family. My wife has sacrificed a lot for me to achieve this degree. She has support this goal from before we were married.
Yea, I really don’t care to be there for myself BUT I am honored to do so in light of her testimony. SO this Saturday I will be in Pennsylvania graduating one more time, but this time I will be with my lovely wife and child.
OH and P.S.
This won’t be my last graduation either 😉

Hello! I could have sworn I’ve been to this site before but after browsing through some of the post I realized it’s new to me.

Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if
you knew of any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates.
I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.
I am not sure about widgets (I can look for you though) but I know that you can link you twitter account to you WP account so every time you publish a post it will update for you. I have that with my FB account and my linkedin account. Hope that helps 🙂

I am glad you stopped by! Thank you so much for reading.
Currently it looks like WordPress is the top blogging platform available right now.
(from what I’ve read) Is that what you’re using on your
blog?
Yes I am using WordPress. I used to use Blogger then a friend who switched told me about the flexibility one can get with WP. So I made the switch and never looked back.
I will immediately grab your rss feed as I can not find your e-mail subscription hyperlink or e-newsletter service.
Do you’ve any? Kindly permit me know in order that I may subscribe. Thanks.
Thank you so much for stopping by and wanting to read more. I believe there is a link in the upper right corner that says sign me up… that should allow you to be notified of any new post from this blog.
I don’t even know how I ended up here, but I thought this post was great. I don’t
know who you are but definitely you are going to a famous blogger if you are not already 😉 Cheers!
As I read this my mouth was left open and my mind blown… Thank you so much for the compliment. I struggle so much with writing that I am honored to know you enjoyed what you were reading. Hope you return soon!
