This is one of those days that make everything else seem pretty insignificant. It was a perspective day. I know we're getting in some high points this extra-long weekend, but the real reason we're here is to witness the graduation of Caroline "Coco" Miller, a seventh generation West Pointer. She grew up in our little church in Denver, Colorado, but had West Point stars in her eyes as long as any one of us can remember. And today, the culmination of her dreams, and her hard work, came to fruition. We are proud to have a small stake in her life but she is the one who deserves the credit. It takes sacrifice to what she did.
The second great blessing is one that goes on and on, fellowship with dearly loved friends with whom we will spend eternity. To that fellowship we will add the face to face presence of the Lord, but days like this are a reminder of what is unique to our faith: the sure promise of eternal life in Christ Jesus, a fantastic eternal life of good things.
