Another Milestone
It seems strange to be posting about yet another milestone - they have been coming fast and furious this year. It also seems strange that law school graduation - when I finished studies 10 months ago, passed the bar exam, and became a lawyer in the meantime - should mean so much to me, but it did. Commencement was wonderful, superbly done, and the commissioning prayers will stay with me for a long time.

So many friends…
I was humbled to present the student response.

Thanks to everyone who prayed for me throughout this long journey.

It was a privilege to be at your graduation, Gabe. I pray for God’s continued direction on your life, and I will always appreciate your investment in encouraging me throughout my law school experience thus far. Persevero!

Hey Gabe,
Congratulations! That is awesome. Thanks for posting the pics … and don’t ever let anyone tell you that you don’t look good in purple

In re: my speech - I’m hoping to get some video of it soon, but that hasn’t happened yet. I focused on the fact that we law students like to quibble on words - and the smaller the word, the more minute the argument, the better we like it. Take words like “if,” “except,” and “for”; we’ll debate about words like these until the cows come home.
But if we stop quibbling for a moment, those words can give us the real gist of law school…
If
Except
For
Video hopefully coming…
