The Graduate

We are celebrating back-to-back graduations with our son Chase these next two weekends. Chase's High School graduation will be today at 2:00 PM. He and seven fellow Home Schoolers will be honored in a ceremony at Crossroads Church. Last year, after completing his Junior year, Chase only needed two more credits to graduate. After attending the "Experience Week" our Master's Commission program puts on every year, Chase decided he wanted to complete his school work early so that he could go ahead and join Master's Commission. That explains his second graduation, which will be next weekend when he crosses the stage to receive his diploma for the nine month discipleship school he has participated in since September. Chase plans to enroll in a second year with the program which will allow him to earn a Bachelor's Degree from West Coast Bible College. He believes God has called him into the ministry.

We are so proud of Chase. He has been an excellent student and an absolute joy to have in our home. In preparation for his graduations, we have looked through hundreds of photographs we've taken of Chase through the years. After looking at all the pictures, Donna and I came to two conclusions: 1. Our son has always been a really fun and interesting kid! 2. He's had a really fun life. We love him so much and thank God for him!
