Today I visited West Point
for the first time in my life. I
recall riding past it on the other side of the Hudson river on a train. Today, Kathy and I traveled here for a
wedding I will be officiating this weekend.
There is so much history
here. It was hard to even begin to
grasp. How many young cadets have
passed through here, serving this country that we love with their all. Tomorrow, I am blessed to perform the
marriage of two graduates.
The parents of the bride
are both graduates. In fact, they
currently live on post. I looked
out the window of their home to a spectacular view of the Hudson river. I saw young soldiers running and
enjoying a beautiful day.
In another surreal moment,
I met the bride’s younger brother who is a sophomore here, following the
footsteps of his Mom, Dad, and older Sister. Amazing. Simply
amazing. I admire these soldiers
for many reasons.
From one generation to
another, we pass on faith, values, courage, and hope. It’s been a wonderful day. I’m confident tomorrow will be as well. Lord you are good. I am very grateful.
