Back in the 70's it was customary for missionaries to send their children away to boarding school.
It was no exception for Glenn. For his 10th, 11th and 12th grades, Glenn attended Ben Lippen High School in Asheville North Carolina.
Over the weekend, Glenn and I took a journey back to his formative years. We connected with dear old friends.
Glenn connected with old classmates, former soccer players and friends from his high school choir.
On Saturday evening, we joined the class of 1972 for their evening gathering and potluck dinner. We sat around the tables and shared stories, heard stories of heart aches, challenges and growth since their BL years, and we heard stories of God's faithfulness through the years. We didn't leave the gathering until 12:45am. My eyes were swollen from crying and we were worn out from engaging in the interesting stories of grief and joy.
God is faithful.
On Sunday morning, we gathered at the old campus to have brunch and a worship service.

Glenn is somewhere there in the crowd with some of the former BL choir members.

ReplyDeleteWonderful to see the pics. Couldn't identify much of anyone else in the photos. Nice to see the Parkers. I took piano lessons with him for several years.
