SEEING THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL

A friend’s son was graduating with his engineering degree. At the ceremony, there were engineers as far as the eye could see, in all facets of that challenging field.

They all looked alike . . . EXCEPT . . .

. . . the mining engineers all wore their lighted mining hardhats instead of mortar boards.

How fitting: a little “miner” humor . . . to celebrate completion of a very difficult major.

Prayer request: Baby Jackson arrived last week, 6 pounds, 12 ounces, and lots of blonde hair. Mother (and father!) are recovering nicely, though Jackson does have some medical problems. Oh, Lord, what a gift You have given with this precious and amazing life. What joy and peace we have in knowing that You are above all good and giving. We pray fervently for solutions to his medical challenges so that he can join his big sister Maci in all sorts of childhood fun. (Romans 15:13)

Praise reports: We praise You, Father, for a young Christian graduating with high honors, a true light in Your world. The son of Nebraska Right to Life director Julie Schmit-Albin is graduating from Kansas University and has accepted a full ride scholarship to the University of Minnesota for their MD/PhD program under the National Institute of Health's Medical Science Training Program. He wants to be a medical researcher. Bless and keep this great young mind and the heart that seeks to help others. (Psalm 121:5-8)
