 My oldest child, my first little girl, who is now a 6' tall 17 year old, is graduating from high school today. That's Katey Elizabeth there when she got her class ring. I'm not sure quite how to feel. Well, I'll start with the fact that I love her very much and I'm very proud of her. Not just about her education - she's very smart and has proven as much in school - but that she is a good person. She's a genuinely caring, thoughtful and nice person. And yes, she does have hold of the faith that I have tried to pass on to her. She will do well. This afternoon she'll walk across that stage and I'm thinkin' I might cry. I KNOW I'll cry when we drop her off at EKU in the Fall. I've warned them of this. There's a song by Cat Stevens I always think of, that I have always thought of, and when it plays on the radio I have a hard time listening to it without getting emotional. I'll end with that. I love you Katey. May the huge Grace, Peace, and Wisdom of God be with you. May the Holy Spirit fill you with the deep knowledge of His Life and keep you united to Him through Jesus. And study hard (not too hard) and don't skip too many classes. Amen. Wild World Cat Stevens Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world It's hard to get by just upon a smile Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world and I'll always remember you like a child, girl You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do And it's breakin' my heart in two Because I never wanna see you sad, girl Don't be a bad girl But if you wanna leave, take good care Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware technorati tags > high school graduations, children, parenting ::: ::: permalink ::: e-mail me :::

three quotes |:: "Then, if we cannot as yet think alike in all things, at least we may love alike. Herein we cannot possibly do amiss." "Keep your eyes on the crucifix, for Jesus without the cross
is a man without a mission, and the cross without Jesus
is a burden without a reliever." "...I am deeply convinced that the Christian leader of the future is called to be
completely irrelevant and to stand in this world with nothing to offer but his or her own vulnerable self."
