celebrating with Lisa

2/10/10 Lisa is our intern pastor. She has been a member of this congregation for years. More recently she has been a student at Austin Seminary. Last week she went reluctantly to a banquet at the seminary. To tell you how reluctant she was, she tried to give me her ticket. She was glad that she attended, because at the banquet she received a $10,000 fellowship that she can use for continuing education. Then yesterday, she heard from Boston University where she had applied for doctoral program. She had been accepted. I cannot tell you how many people apply for the very few positions. This morning in my emails, Lisa said that she listened to the voice mail from BU more closely, and it said that BU was also offering tuition help and that she was in the running for another scholarship. I am celebrating with Lisa today.

Love,
Lynn
