My oldest daughter, Kayleigh, graduates from high school today…
…so I woke up feeling proud…but tired - just kind of weary and old.
Kayleigh’s a smart, strong independent young woman who really loves God and others. Byron and I are truly blessed to have had the privilege of watching her grow up. And tonight she’ll cross from one stage of life into another - and I’ll beam and take tons of pictures…
But, this morning I think I’ll celebrate by moving slow and being pensive. I’ll leave the energy of unbridled youth to Kayleigh who’s so ready to take on whatever’s coming next. I remember what that felt like…
…vaguely.
Peace to you all.







Time moves so quickly. I’m so blessed to have Natalie exposed to young women like your daughters.
One Sunday Ashley (who I had in 3rd grade AWANA!)
took the time to sit with my daughter during Powerhouse and talk to her. They both are such good role models for the younger girls growing up.
You did a wonderful job.
