"RTS is finished"

After five years, I am finished with all my course work to receive a Masters of Divinity from Reformed Theological Seminary. My graduation is May 22, 2010. I leave my seminary career with more passion for Christ, more love for people, and more desire to serve in ministry. I am thankful for all my professors who taught me the Word of God. I want to thank my co-worker, Marc Garduque, who labored over almost all my grammatically-challenged papers. I want to thank my wife who was gracious when I was think more about school assignments than her. Finally, I want to thank my God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who has given the grace to think over His Word and awakens my heart and mind to precious, life-giving truth.

On an ironic note, as this is my last day of school work, five years ago today it was the first meeting of Mandy and I. It was Dr. Fesko's systematic two course. An all day Saturday class. We sat next to each other and talked about guitars, Piper, missions, and theology. Along with the class, we went out to lunch at Willy's and I sat next to her. What a day! Who would have ever known that that meeting would lead to marriage and now parenthood! God has amazing plans for his children!
