Thanks again, all…nice to have you to celebrate with.
Of course, I didn’t quote the next paragraph in the acceptance letter: “Please send us $100 immediately to secure…”

Mark!! That’s so incredible! Congratulations!!
I’ll be praying for you as you dive into this. I’ve never been through seminary, but I saw my father hit the lows and highs of it all. The Lord will keep you secure!

Benjamin: don’t be too quick with the “Dr.”…that’s a long way away…if ever.
Chrissy: thanks! Feel free to share your Dad’s highs…keep the lows to yourself!
