Bittersweet

Tonight we had a going away party for the seniors at 180. It's sad to see them go...most of them are going to Liberty University as of this coming Wednesday. We also have one who has already left for Washington & Lee, and two who'll be attending Hampden-Sydney. One is headed to Hampton University as well. They will definitely be missed, but we are grateful for the last few years that we have had with them. Thankfully most of them are close by enough that they've promised to make some alumni visits back to Bucktown. :) They've been a blessing to Billy and I, and also to the students who they have set an example for. Here is a picture of Billy giving them a speech...in which he tried not to get too sappy:


It wouldn't really be 180 if we didnt do something like this, either...:)
Things may be changing, but some things...
*Like the goofballs who are now in charge around here*
...never change :)

I would have loved to been a part of this kind of group growing up.
You have a awesome ministry with these kids. I don't think i could do it. God bless.
