If you could go back in time, what would your tell your former self on graduation day?

Trust your gut and be flexible. (CO)

Hey look at you…you actually graduated! Unless you’ll let me use graduation from the Southwest school of Preaching, because I left Texas State early. In that case, I’d say, “Preaching is the hardest job you’ll ever do, and while there are times you’re gonna want to quit, there is nothing in the world that is more rewarding than working for the Kingdom!” (DO)

It’s not one event, but the feeling of ease, comfort and love that I had during my college years at McCarty and University. I loved playing Catch Phrase as a group. (CO)

Is it cheesy to say the day Catherine walked into the building and I was convinced she’d be my wife!?! It is, okay, then the nights we hung out at McCarty and would go to the All-Nighter-Dinner for all you can eat pancakes.  (DO)
