This post comes to you from North Dakota where Sue and I have traveled to see our youngest child. It was a very nerve wrecking trip as we left Kansas just as the winter storm moved into SE Kansas. Finally on day 2, just north of Souix City we broke out of the nasty weather and road conditions and was able to relax. Hopefully the weather will hold for the trip back tomorrow.

Today my daughter, our youngest, graduated from Trinity Bible College in North Dakota. Jacqui and her husband of almost two years are currently living and studing here in Ellendale, North Dakota. She is looking into youth ministries, and Lee is studying towards youth ministries and coaching. As I watched her go across the stage this morning a sense of pride was present.

I must say that I'm proud of both of our children. Jaqui and Lee are both looking into the ministries. John, our oldest, is in California where he is stationed with the U.S. Navy. He is just recently back from the Gulf where he was assigned to a fixed wing attack squadron. He and his family should be coming home for Christmas and I'm anxious to see him after almost two years.

Reflecting back today, I realized Sue and I have done well with our children. John is serving his country defending our freedom and helping others to obtain, or keep, their freedom. A very worthy cause. Jacqui is helping others learn the word of our Lord. Also a very noble profession. We can now set back and say "job well done." It's a good thing for a parent to see their children pursing very worthy causes.
