*during the innvocation (prayer) we had a gentleman calling out (loudly as I heard him from across the lawn)"hallelujah, amen, praise you Lord!" I love God but I have to admit it was hard not to laugh as amidst the quiet calm of the prayer this man starts yelling his praises.Huge props to the Rev. Dr.Neal Carter, pastor of the Laurenburg Presby. Church, who prayed as if not hearing the man as I totally would've been distracted.
*President of the college gave a humorous welcome including, "welcome siblings who probably came in disbelief at their brother or sister graduating.*Samuel Hemingway a senior class speaker sang an accapella song as the intro to his speach and got the crowd calling and the man from the invocation calling amen's again. It was an awesome speach dedicated to his mom who passed away and thanked the parents. He talked about investing in knee pads for the prayer time to get through classes and drama.he gave everyone plenty of laughs as he reminsced of the previous four years...the good and bad - the exciting times and the tragedies they came through together as a community. Loved it!
