Nicholas leaves for college today

Peter, Nicholas and I got up early and headed to a "going off to college" ceremonial breakfast (don't think we're high-minded; it was a Dunkin' Donuts that we went to, by Nicholas' choice). This is going to be hard to see the firstborn heading off to a new life, out from under our wings. It was mighty hard for me last night, but this morning I have accept it and leave Nicholas' training and further growth to the Lord's direction.

Numerous good Bible ministries at ETSU including Campus Crusade, are calling and looking forward to seeing Nick on campus. In activities both social and spiritual, they are prepared to take him in and care for him.

Nicholas, we will be praying for you each and every day. May the Lord make you a mighty man in Him.
