My baby brother graduated from high school last week. If you’ll indulge me once again, I promise to keep the Billy-bragging to a minimum in the future. But I can’t write this post without mentioning that Billy was an honor graduate and a National Merit Scholar. I’m proud because he is my little brother, but he was also my student. Of course, I think he’s the smartest kid ever, but he’s also one of the most God-seeking men I have ever known. He’s heading to Wheaton College this fall, and we are all going to miss him terribly, but I can’t wait to see all that he will achieve.

Looking at all of these graduation pictures reminded me of another graduation picture from the not so distant past. I guess he’s grown a little since then.

    Congratulations Billy! I know that you will do great at Wheaton and be a wonderful influence on many. Be sure to look up Sara Johnson from Dothan, AL because she's going to be a freshman too. She and her sister, Heather, are both at Wheaton and considered HU very strongly before choosing Wheaton. Sara was actually at Honors Symposium last summer and may have been in your session. Anyway, Brenda and I wish you the very best! Good luck!
