Cool is...

...Watching your mom receive her 50th college celebration diploma.  I did and loved every moment of it.  Baylor’s golden diploma event honoring the Class of '62. Wow. Nostalgic and humbling. To be a child, watching your parent's acheivement, pretty amazing!

Made me ponder whether the children of Israel ever felt the same. Watching their "Daddy" achieve miraculous signs and wonders. Knowing they were related to Him. Remembering that they were grafted into that Vine.

Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; His greatness no one can fathom. One generation will commend Your works to another; they will tell of Your mighty acts. They will speak of the glorious splendor of Your majesty, and I will meditate on Your wonderful works. They will tell of the power of Your awesome works, and I will proclaim Your great deeds.” (Psalm 145:3–6, NIV84)

"Growth in grace is measured not by the fact that you have not gone back, but that you have an insight into where you are spiritually; you have heard God say ‘Come up higher,’ not to you personally, but to the insight of your character."   (Oswald Chambers)
