Rob received an email late last week informing him that he was receiving an award at the Honor's Convocation at Gordon Conwell. So we packed the boys and all headed up for the event, not knowing what award Rob would receive. Little did we know, he received not one, not two, but THREE awards! (One for each boy!) He is now a member of Gordon Conwell's honor society Phi Alpha Chi (short for Philoi Alethias Christou which means "lovers of the truth of Christ"), and received awards for "distinguished biblical and theological studies" and for "outstanding promise in the practice of preaching for pastoral ministry".
We're so proud of him. He is so humble, but I wanted to share the good news with you all.
The school is an hour away, so we ended up having a picnic for the boys so they could have their cereal. It is a gorgeous 80 degree day. The whole day has been such a blessing!

Congratulations Rob! That's really amazing!! We missed Ginger and the boys at the new mom's group but it was worth it!! I'm glad you all had a great day!
What a sweet and precious blessing it is for Rob to receive the rewards. They go far beyond the academic, yet incredibly worthy, awards to know that he can reach people spiritually!
We are so proud of you dear son-in-law. And to think that your wonderful sons witnessed it!
Love you!

Nice shoes, but where's the avocado? It's not a picnic unless there's avocado...
Congrats, Rob!

Congratulations!! We are so proud of you . . . as always. You have worked hard and I'm glad the school noticed. Now about honors . . .
Love

Although many things surprise me in this life, Rob's continued success, especially with Gurk, the three amigos, and the Big Guy in his corner, is nothing short of expected.
Nevertheless, it is, of course, praiseworthy. You are all missed.
