The End of a Chapter

I graduated from my MA program on May 14, 2005. It's hard to believe I not only survived, but actually did fine. It's a miracle considering how much I used to hate school throughout my life. I've somehow become a walking, living testament of God's greatness. While this may highlight an odd and embarrassing shortcoming on my part, I'm honored to witness for God in any way possible.



On a different note, I can't escape the looming awareness that my days here in Monterey are numbered. I'll miss the beautiful surroundings and MIIS.

How many times did I walk by the Bay...just me and my thoughts?
How many night stay up late to work?
How many times did I listen to the waves as I was falling asleep?
How many sunrises over the Bay did I witness?
How many stars did I count in the nightsky over Monterey?
How often did I think of God...?
I'll miss this place, and I'll think back fondly...
