We are home after Jessica's graduation

We're back!  Home in Louisiana, that is.  Accompanying us are two grandchildren, Lily and Oliver.  They will visit for two weeks before going to Disney World.

Attending  a graduate ceremony is not most people's idea of pleasure but when you have a relative  getting a degree you enjoy a few minutes-- when your daughter's name is called and she   is presented her diploma. Jessica was awarded the Master of Divinity degree in baccalaureate services Saturday.  Services were held in Duke Chapel and lasted from 6:30 to 8:30.

Jessica not only completed three years of academic studies but also served several churches as youth director and held several jobs.   One of her most demanding duties was serving as a hospital chaplain for an entire summer.  She is home for  a few weeks looking forward to being commissioned as a pastor in June and getting ready to go to Israel as a missionary.
