Today was my last official day of classes for high school. I've been doing a lot of thinking lately, about school, college, the future, etc. My time at Master's is filled with good and bad memories, friendships made and lost, and countless, countless inside jokes. :) But more than anything, I think I'll miss the people the most. My friends, classmates, fellow seniors, underclassmen, even teachers. Many of the teachers at TMS have made a big impact in my life. Mr Dietrich with his "golden apples" and stories about his college days...Mr. DeCesare, with his carefree yet authentic and open attitude...Mrs. Deckert with her fierce defense of the Christian faith. Everyone you meet, everyone you know, makes a little difference in your life whether you realize it or not. I think, I hope, that my time at Master's was well spent. I enjoyed most of it, even the countless hours of homework and classes. :) My wish is that as my class separates and moves off to their respective colleges, jobs, and lives, that we will never forget where we came from, and the people who helped us to become who we are today.Thursday, May 20, 2010

Test of Faith
This is a link for a CNN article about the last Jew in Afghanistan.

I find it interesting and slightly disturbing that there is only one professing Jew left in the entire country of Afghanistan. In the interview he talks about persecution under the Taliban... I find it amazing that this man is willing to leave behind his children and his family in order to serve God. I see that as the kind of faith that Abraham had. True faith.
