We traveled down to Jacksonville last Friday for the graduation ceremony at Victory Christian Academy. Since my wife taught there for the last 28 years (except 2007-2008) she really wanted to attend this year's graduation. She would never tell you this, but the Valedictorian mentioned her during his address, so you can tell she made an impact on their lives. Also in the "it's a small world category" - our current assistant Pastor from Lilburn, Ga, Randy Hurst was the special speaker for the graduation. It was great to see many of our friends again in Jax. The youth pastor's wife posted some photos of the graduates at this link.
After helping Brandon pick out a gas grill at Home Depot on Saturday morning (a late wedding present from his parents, brothers Josh and Stephen and families, Uncle Carl and Grandma Baggett) we joined Cindy, Kayla, Dave and Andy in helping Rachel pack up her teaching supplies from her classroom and take them home. We followed Brandon and Rachel and headed back to Georgia as she was singing with the group "Adoration" at Calvary Baptist Church in Gray, GA. We enjoyed listening to the ladies practice and even got to hear our son practice his trumpet solo, "It Is Well." We had time to catch up with the ladies in that group and make some new friends at the church before we headed home to Duluth.
And, yes, I did take a nap on Sunday afternoon!
