What Now?

WHAT NOW?

Graduation from High School opens the door to opportunity.  At eighteen one is faced with a system of education that makes YOU the responsible one.  In college, Mom isn't there to force you out of bed or coerce you into doing the homework.  Even if you don't go to school, the reality of getting a job and maintaining your own bills, etc, looms BIG.

 I moved from Illinois to Houston, Texas.  It was the best decision my parents helped me make.  I was responsible for my future.  I had their help, but ultimately, I was the one that set the course of my future.  I attended Southern Bible College at 10950 Beaumont Hwy, Houston, Texas.  It was truly the most influential period of my life.  My belief system was tried and shuffled during the years I was led by Worden McDonald, Elizabeth Williams, Louis Caldwell, Joe Clark, and so many other teachers who challenged me and encouraged me.  I didn't end up becoming what I set out to be, but found that my faith held me steady through the good and bad choices of my life,

It is strange, but now that I am retired, I feel like I am again at a threshold similar to graduation.  I have to decide my route and, again, I ask God to give me direction and purpose for this phase of my life.

Today I say CONGRATULATIONS to my grand daughter, Kamri, on her accomplishment and her journey into her future!
