Veterans Day Thoughts:
It was an honor to celebrate our veterans on November 11th. I was able to speak to many of them and saw a range of emotions. It was such a blessing for our students to hear Lt. Kit Smith, ret. as he challenged us to have courage but said that "Courage is not the absence of fear." What good words for all of us knowing that God walks with us through everything we are going through. His challenge was timely and our student participants that day did an excellent job.
Enjoy some photographs from the program if you were not present.
