Courage!"So be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid, and do not panic before them. For the Lord your God will personally go ahead of you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you." Deuteronomy 31:6, TLB
Welcome to this special blog that is coming from the University of Dubuque in Dubuque Iowa. The university campus is abuzz and busy today and tomorrow with graduation festivities and ceremonies.
As I walk around the campus today, one can feel the dreams and visions in the air that began four years ago for many of the students and parents. As the ROTC students get their 2nd Lieutenants commissions and as the nursing students get their nursing pins, dreams and prayers are coming to fruition.
We gather tonight to celebrate in the baccalaureate service tonight, as to thank God for his great provisions. After worship, we will gather with our son for the senior banquet.
Tomorrow many will gather to see seminarians graduate with Masters or Doctorate degrees, as to begin or continue callings to ministry. The next celebration will be seeing our eldest son graduate (with many others) as they receive their Undergraduate degrees.
Many of us have or know those who will be graduating from some school or learning opportunity, and we celebrate the fact that God has heard their prayers and has brought them to this special day.
As we witness dreams at work this weekend, please pray for our graduates a prayer for strength and courage as they move forward in life.Tell them that our Lord will be in front of them forging a path to success.
Blessing and Peace
A Very Happy Pastor and (Father of Sean).
