Our son, John, graduates from Baylor tomorrow.  I am so proud of him and so very blessed to get to be a part of his life.  He loves the Lord, his family, friends and life.

John has already accomplished so much in his life.  He served in an inner city church in Boston the summer he graduated from high school.  For some time he got up early on Friday mornings to serve food to the homeless.  He is currently mentoring three young boys who have very challenging family situations.  In addition, he served as a chaplain in one of the dorms and he is actively involved in his church.

He loves to read, is a gifted speaker and has a great sense of humor – maybe he takes after me.  More importantly he knows the importance of relationships and has so many good friends – he definitely learned all this from his mother.  Just this week, two of his friends have spent time at our house on their way elsewhere.  They, like John, love the Lord and want to make a difference in the world.  It is absolutely refreshing to be around them.

Every dad in the world should have the joy and privilege of sharing their life with a son like John.  I do and for that I will always be grateful.
