Today was a wonderful day....the kids & I and my parents were blessed to watch Tom receive his Masters at a Grand Commencement at Fuller. It felt like an Oxford ceremony. It was the 60th year for Fuller and the largest graduating class in seminary history. When it's all done there will be 800 graduates. There are students from all over the world~Literally! So many cultures were represented, including the Middle East and China where religious freedoms are difficult to practice. People from all over the United States. A very diverse group. Pastor Rick Warren is an Alumni and he received an Alumni award and spoke. Robert Shulers grandson gave his testimony (as he was graduating also) his family was there and he told how a firey pentecostal preacher witnessed to him near Disney and stirred him to be saved and do a work for God...he was very passionate. Several other good speakers and professors that represent various colleges and authors were in the packed out building. Fuller is a fantastic Seminary. First Class. It's required hours of hard work...but it's something to be proud of. They were so kind to Tom and encouraging on his educational journey. I was free to attend some of his classes and the Professors were first class. There were many exciting things going on today. I'm proud of my husband and all of his hard work. We ended up at Wahibs...a Lebenese Restaurant in LA. Tom's favorite type of food and hits the spot for him... anytime he gets to choose where we go. :-) He got to have all of his favorite foods today. And tomorrow is father's day...so the party continues.
