Ben, you make me honored and grateful to be your wife. There were so many times when I got frustrated because I wanted you to be home instead of at school flipping through Greek notecards or scrambling to finish a research paper, but you graciously reminded me many times, and rightly so, that your time in seminary was training us to better serve and love others. So often I fought that concept, but you were right all along (surprise surprise). You have always shown yourself to be a dedicated and eager student, taking every opportunity to glean from the professors you admire and respect. The Lord has blessed you with numerous men of God from which to glean and He is shaping you into a man who will be that to so many others. You already are! Congratulations Love! I look forward to where God will take us and how he will use us together in ministry to the glory of God! Here's to the start of something new, something great!

D.O.N.E.
Ben recently graduated from seminary and is now a Master of Divinity. It's been a long road and not without challenges, but he has always kept his focus. During this time, he juggled a family, school, and work, not to mention discipling fellas and teaching Sunday school, and in all things he did well. Yes, there was some procrastination and more than one all-nighter, but you did it. You finished! And finished well.
