“You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everybody. You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts” (2 Cor 3:2-3).
Yesterday the Class of 2011 graduated. They will be missed; they are extraordinary. There have been many special classes in the past, but this particular class was special to me because we encountered many milestones together. They rejoiced with us by welcoming our two little boys into the world and shed tears with us over the passing of multiple family members, including my beloved mom. They experienced life with us and vice versa. Those experiences helped to keep everything in the right perspective. There is a spiritual depth to this class that is marked and unique. Prior to graduation, I had the privilege of chaperoning their senior trip in Colorado. The senior trip serves as a wonderful bookend to a great high school career. Countless fun activities are planned, but it’s also one last time to share the Gospel as well as provide opportunities for the students to mend broken relationships and simply enjoy each other. I am forever grateful for having the opportunity to play a small role in these children’s lives. They are ready for a new adventure and I am “confident that he who began a good work in [them] will carry it out until completion” (Phil 1:6).
