• And the winner is...

  Commencement at Covenant is a big deal. Huge, in fact. The bagpipe and drum core leads the procession of doctors, professors, and graduates into the convention center with MUCH pomp and circumstance. Amazing Grace played on the bagpipes is so beautiful. It's all really a sight to behold. The professors line either side of the aisle and congratulate the students as they walk through. Each year I keep waiting for the profs to raise their arms and form a long tunnel for the graduates to start running through... like at a football game or something. Maybe I'll request that for my graduation...
  
  
  This past year, our class president had been emailing us nonstop about who our commencement speaker should be for graduation 2010. The votes came pouring in, some serious and some... not so serious. The wide variety of names topping the charts included both President Obama and Oprah, neither of whom we decided to contact.   

  Sinclair Ferguson has agreed to come to our graduation and speak next year.

  He was my vote :)
