Jason's MDI Graduation

Last Saturday marked a milestone for Jason.  After two years of studying, writing essays, watching videos, and reading books he graduated from MDI (Ministry Development Institute).  He put in several hours, put off a lot of plans, and read more books than he ever had.

A graduation ceremony was held Saturday for Jason and the other six graduates.  Upon completion of this program, they are now a huge step closer to becoming pastors or doing other ministry work.  After an hour of speakers and presentation of diplomas, a small reception was held with cookies and punch.

I was very happy with the turnout that showed up to support Jason.  He had a big crowd cheering him on.  Those people, his "turtles", can't be thanked enough. 

I don't know where this journey is going to lead him but I know God has big things in store for Jason.  

It's all good.  We're blood.  We can pick each other's boogies if we wanna.

And, lastly, we couldn't go without taking this picture.  This one's for you mom (aka, the main "turtle").
