RTS Graduation

We've been in seminary at RTS Jackson for the last four years, where Nate has been working on his Master of Divinity degree. As almost any seminary graduate will tell you, seminary is a "best of times, worst of times" experience. It is a wonderful-difficult season, where trusting God for daily needs is not just a neat Biblical idea but a reality. It's this lesson the Lord has been teaching us, even though we've been very slow to learn it! As Nate and I look back over our time at seminary, with all its joys and sorrows, we believe this is the most important lesson of all.

One of the great things about seminary is the friends you make and the memories you share together. This is a picture of all the MDiv graduates at RTS Jackson this year.

Thanks guys! Yes, it's good to be done and to be moving into the church on a fulltime basis. The Lord has been good.

Hope things are well with ya'll. If you're ever in our neck of the woods, please let us know. We'd love to see you.
