Graduation Tips

A few people from our class have reached a milestone in their education. That means they have run full-speed into a big rock, and now they are lying on the ground wondering what happened and wishing someone would give them an ice-pack.

Well, here is a little ice-pack from The Road.

1. God remains the same through transitions. The security of school routine was a gift from Him. You can't graduate from God, so you can never lose your true security.

2. Graduation ceremonies are meant to be enjoyed, so figure out a way to enjoy it. Get signatures on your program, count the number of guys with pink tassels, think of something funny to say to the person who shakes your hand in line, see if all the people giving testimonies have a word or a topic in common, or imagine what it would take for you to get an honorary doctorate. Don't just sit there.

3. Figure out a way to hide a tissue in your robe. If you don't need it, someone near you will.

4. Get pictures with everyone you can think of. You will want them later.

5. Plan to come back and report often. If you go away, we will miss you. (If you don't go away, we will be happy.)

Everyone who is not graduating will be praying for you as you recover from your milestone collision.

Who Should I Vote for in the SC Primary Saturday?

Well, first off, who is on the ballot?

Because of late drop-outs, some people on the ballot for Saturday are no longer running. If you vote for Michelle Bachman or Jon Huntsman, you might as well vote for Mickey Mouse.

According to Google, the front runners for the GOP nomination are Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, and Rick Santorum.

Mitt Romney has a reasonably good resume and exudes competence for handling the position of presidency. His website says that he wants to cut government spending, repeal Obamacare, and reduce unemployment. Mr. Romney graduate from Brigham Young University. He is not completely pro-life, but he does not approve of funding abortion federally.

Newt Gingrich also has a reasonably good resume. He is believed to be the most intelligent candidate in the primary. His website says that he aims to reverse the countries current socialist leanings. He does not have a biographical section to his site - in my opinion because he has a hard time being faithful to his marriage vows. However, he does vote pro-life.

Rick Santorum is the most conservative candidate running. As a Catholic, he is strongly pro-life and pro-family (he has seven children). He makes boldly conservative statements on his website about the economy, healthcare, national defense, education, the judicial system, and the GNP.

Other people on the ballot Ron PaulGary Johnson, and Rick Perry.

Pray and vote!
