ConGraduations!!

I would like to say congratulations to all of those who have graduated or will be graduating in the next few weeks from some educational institution. I went to a high school graduation for my small group guys and as I was watching them walk across the stage and receive there diploma's I began to reminisce about: when I first met them, all that has happened in the past 4 years, what I remember from my graduation, feelings of relief and a sense of accomplishment.
Congratulations for sticking with education for the past 13 years. I'm sure at times things were difficult and you may have even felt like giving up. Thanks for sticking with it. You have achieved a huge milestone in life. Please remember that as you go on to the next stage of your life that each stage that we go through prepares us for the next stage. God Bless.
