Some Cool Swag from Liberty University

As some of you may know, I am a graduate of Liberty University. Okay, so I did it through LU Online, but I have spent a lot of time on the campus. I am a big fan of Liberty and am very glad to be associated with such a great school.

A few weeks ago, I contacted the Alumni Affairs office to see if they could send me some stuff to help promote the university to my students at church. I was hoping for a pennant and some posters, but that is not what I got.

Instead, as you can see from the picture, I received two pennants, two large posters promoting College for a Weekend, a stack of flyers promoting the same event, and two alumni decals to put on my car. It was pretty impressive and I was very excited to receive it. I'm still holding out hopes that I will find some cool Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary merch in my mailbox one day, but this is still pretty cool.

My hope is to be able to take a couple of the students down to Lynchburg to visit the campus sometime this spring. We are still working out the details and praying that more upperclassmen become a part of CTBC Student Ministries. Until then, I am going to keep promoting the school to my freshmen and middle schoolers. They have to go somewhere, right?

My Graduation from Liberty University




As I wrote about yesterday, I graduated from Liberty University on May 12, 2012. The ceremony was incredible, much better than I could have possibly imagined. I was overwhelmed by the excitement of the day and amazed at how great our God is.


Here are just a few of the highlights from the day:

  • The wonderful staff and students at Liberty took great care of us. Tina and I were given a ride from the car to the stadium so Tina wouldn't have to walk.
  • I made a new friend, a pastor from Resurgence in Evansville, Indiana.
  • The music was incredible. I could have listened to it all day.
  • Luis Palau shared how "earth-shattering" salvation is. Amazing!
  • Truett Cathy, the founder of Chick-Fil-A, was awarded an honorary doctorate.
  • The student body and families gave a rousing standing ovation to the military students.
  • Mitt Romney gave a very rousing, inspiring speech. This is not an endorsement of the candidate, simply an observation.
  • My wife is excited about the possibility of our boys attending LU in the future.

I am blessed to have attended Liberty University. God has done amazing things in Lynchburg and the ripples from that can be felt around the world.
