Finished : 1000 Gifts

Almost three years ago I posted this picture of our student in the basement.


Well, as of TODAY he is finished! Awarded his PhD from the University of Aberdeen (Scotland).

For the past 7 years, my husband has beautifully balanced family life, full-time pastoral ministry, and all the researching/writing/trips to Scotland that this degree required. We are so proud of him! And so thankful he is finished!

Today I will add just two to my list...

His PhD. Finished.

1163
The Rev. Dr. Love-Of-My-Life!

For those interested, his dissertation is on the Covenant Theology of Zacharias Ursinus (author of the Heidelberg Catechism). Please don't ask me if I've read it. : )

  1. We are SO proud of Todd and proud of you and your kids for standing by him through all his studying and preparations! And don't worry - I wouldn't have read the dissertation either! :)

  5. Congratulations! A huge feat, indeed - for the entire family. My husband was sitting next to me, saw the picture, read the post and is now salivating. I told him NOT to get ideas. :)
