Higher Education

I have been vehemently opposed to graduate school.  I hated college until my last year and a half (of 9!) and vowed never to go back.  Lately I've felt whispers of possibly going back.  My friend, Matt Moen, is going for an MBA online (very inexpensive, too!) and since we've discussed that, I've seen MBA advertisements everywhere.  Then today, I was talking to my friend, Jess Ouimette, about her going back to school - at Colorado Christian.  I told her about Nic and Juliana Singleton going to Liberty University and thought I'd just poke around to see the options.

WHAT!?!?!

Disciple was my word of the year for 2017.  And I've been really focused on memorization.  And I know my next steps are to share the gospel:
