Who's Growing Up, Anyway

My oldest son, Andrew is soon to graduate from High School. Pastors would do much less counseling if all sons were like him. I have seen him grow up spiritually and physically. This past Saturday he was invited, along with other Arkansas Honor Graduates to meet the Governor. I was proud he was invited, proud of him when he met the Governor, and proud when he and a friend asked me to take their picture snarling at the bust of Bill Clinton outside the gate!!

Andrew was an integral part of our ministry in a new church start in Wyoming. He has been on a number of mission trips, including and Associational trip to Thailand. Andrew will major in English Education at the University of Arkansas and seek to use his degree in missions.

As proud as I am of Andrew (and his younger brother, Benjamin - 10), it does pose a bit of a problem. If he is growing up, do I have too?
