Milestones

It was a week of milestones.

Yesterday, my son, Caleb turned 16.  Tuesday, we will go to Erie to get his driver’s permit and I will be riding in the passenger seat when we return home.  16.  What happened to 4 through 15?  I was there but yet I seemed to miss it. 

He a good young man and I appreciate the manner in which he has matured.  He is a hard worker and seems to have a good base of morality.  I think that he realizes that the decisions he makes over the next few years will essentially chart the course of the rest of his life.  I still spend much time praying for him, though.

Another milestone…

I finally graduated from Geneva.  Although I realize that this is a big deal, to me it is as if I have just won the first round of a tournament.  There are still games to be played and adversities to overcome to get to the goal; the prize.  So I will take some time to rest and complete some housekeeping items.  Then it will be time to start the next round of the tournment.

Life’s Priorities:

1.  God:  worship and serving

2.  Family:  serving

3.  Calling and Vocation:  leading and teaching

4.  Advancement:  learn, add and grow…enjoy the journey

Read something from the book of Proverbs everyday.  It will do you good.

  8. Congratulations to both the graduate and the new driver! A drivers license and a diploma are both powerful tools.
