Graduation 2006

Posted on August 20, 2006 by Troy

For You are great and do wondrous deeds;
You alone are God.
Psalm 86:10 – one of many verses shared during our graduation ceremony today.

Grad is always one of those bitter-sweet times for our staff. We reflect on the great and wondrous deeds that we have witnessed since September as mark the end of another great school year. We also say goodbye to those who we have invested the past year of our lives in.

Through the year you work hard, you become friends with the students, see God working in and through the lives of the students. You see them grow and see how they challenge you.

Today I had the privilege of giving the benediction, praying God’s blessing on these students as they go from here to do His work in this world.

Congratulations class of 2006

We proclaim him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ. Colossians 1:28

A church that is relevant and tackles the issues that matter

Forget those petty issues of the spiritual needs of the world, or even poverty, disease or war, these guys are looking at the big picture, the things that will matter for eternity!

“The United Church of Canada plans to ask its members to stop buying bottled water….
…

“The main thrust is our concern about the privatization of water,” Richard Chambers, the church’s social policy co-ordinator, said Friday from Thunder Bay.

“The United Church is committed to supporting municipal water sources wherever they exist in the country and strengthening those.”

Finally, a church with convictions, one with a strong moral stand, a church that is doing something!!

That is what Canada needs!

That and more snow in the summer.

Pink Gloves

Wes is an intern who has been working with me in the admissions department at the Word of Life Bible Institute this past year. His internship is up this week and he will soon be starting an apprenticeship at a construction company. Wes has always enjoyed working with his hands. However.. over the past year in the office his hands have gotten pretty soft, so I was concerned about him as he leaves us to go work doing construction. The other day was his birthday, so I made sure that he had a new set of gloves to protect his soft office hands at his new construction job. Happy Birthday Wes.. enjoy the gloves!
