WE DON'T, EITHER

A big college graduation ceremony is a circus of creativity in the ways graduates find to signal their parents and loved ones where they are sitting.

In the football stadium at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill on Sunday, there was a sea of Carolina blue caps and gowns. There were big green balloons and red heart balloons, striped golf umbrellas opening and closing, posters with big arrows pointing downward, and lots of cell phones buzzing.

But our favorite sign was duct-taped to a mortar board:

“I DON’T WANT TO GROW UP!!!”

Prayer request: Father, there’s a very nice young man named Matt who is pitching in the state baseball tournament this evening. His dad is a honey, and is trimming our trees today. Lord, if it be Your will, be with Matt and take him out on a . . . limb . . . of excellence today. Let Matt pitch the game of his life, and let that . . . branch . . . of Your family revel in an awesome memory and celebration in this precious graduation time. (Deuteronomy 31:6)
