It’s the time of year when most people think of graduations. High Schools and Universities have been graduating their senior classes. Today I would like to give a commencement address to God’s Senior Class. It was over 40 years ago that I witnessed my own high school commencement and 16 years ago I received my masters degree from Bellevue University. I don’t remember much about them. Today as I look back, I would like to discuss some of the things I wish they would have mentioned! Some of the things I had to learn the hard way...things about life I was never told about at graduation. Today, in honor of our high schools seniors I would like to give a commencement address to God’s senior class in Cleveland, OH. This sermon is for everyone who views each day a new beginning and a fresh start to the rest of your life.
