[The internet was down at the hotel yesterday morning, so I was not able to blog. By the time I had an internet connection on campus, it was time for the board meeting to start.]
Graduation yesterday was delightful–a great group of students, a new venue for graduation festivities at the San Martin Hotel District Convention Center, a special occasion. The banquet was equally delightful–especially the opportunity to honor several who have made a difference in the history of Baxter, including former board members Mike Jones, Steve White, and Joe Widick. Earlier, the Maplehill church (Lebanon, Tennessee) and Sue Mozley received “Amigos de Baxter” awards.
I close this morning’s reflections with some miscellaneous (disconnected) thoughts. The weather has been quite cool the last couple of days, but the flowering trees and the festive Christmas decorations fill the world with color and awaken the senses. It is only about 58 degrees F. this morning–quite chilly by local standards.) It is hard to believe that the past week has flown by so rapidly and that only a little over 24 hours remains before the return to the U.S. It is a privilege to be involved with the work at Baxter and the clinic in things that make a difference in this world and for eternity as souls are brought to Christ.
