50 YEARS AGO TODAY

50 years ago today, June 26, 1968, I reported to the Naval Academy for my plebe year.  Among my classmates there has been a flurry of reminiscing on social media, noting the significant impact of our time together there.

I join with them with one huge event in mind for me:  I committed my life to Christ during my second year there as a midshipman.

Life at the Academy  was conducive to my growth in Christ.  The Academy's emphasis on personal responsibility, submission to authority, integrity, sacrifice and teamwork were a real asset during those early years for me.

I am thankful that God drew me to Himself while I was there.
