    No, not me. Our son successfully defended his dissertation today and will graduate in two weeks from SMU. (slightly proud dad here)

    I wore flip-flops last night. Ulma said, "well I never saw a preacher wearing those to church!" I told her that Jesus probably wore sandals, so it's kind of biblical. We had a good laugh at that.

    What? You had to bring up the Jesus thing. Wouldn't reminding her you were in Arkansas have been enough

    Re: Dr. Bemis

    Not knowing what flip flops are is this some new recommendation in the Code of Christian Conduct in the Nazarene Manual?

    A "Hip Hip Hooray" for the new Dr. Bemis.

    That's wonderful, Jon! Congratulations to him on the accomplishment and you for fostering the skills and perseverance that led to it.

    We're on track to see two masters degrees by the end of the year. It's great to see our kids surpass us, isn't it?

    Well, I'm only an hour away from SMU. If there's any kind of ceremony and you come through, holler at me! Congratulations on now being able to say "my son the doctor said..."

    Love that Ulma! She may remember it was the former preacher's wife that wore blue-jeans. The times are a changin.
