Please join me in congratulating our students as they complete their years of education at Epiphany and head into High School. This was their "theme song" for the year. I remember the year this came out while I was at Sacred Heart in Florissant. As songs go for graduation, I consider it as good as any. When our class graduated from grade school we wanted Pink Floyd, the Wall. One of teachers asked, "Is that the song that says we don't need no education?" VETOED We went with some lame 38. Special Song.
While Billy Joe Armstrong is singing about his girlfriend that left him, it is still a great song about choices and remembrance. Please pray for our graduates, life is full of choices and it is unfortunately easy to ignore Christ. His patience and humility will often permit us to wander into all sorts of dangers that can have irrevocable consequences. At the same time, if they choose to walk with Him, their life can be opened up to more potential and fulfillment than we imagine. The human spirit is animated by God, and His creativity seeks to express itself in each of us. Pray that they continue to allow God's creativity to shape their lives and find expression in their decisions. If they do, their joy will be complete, if they ignore it, their lives will be empty and dull. God wants them and all of us to share in His fullness. However, He rarely grants it to the disinterested or preoccupied.
"It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right, I hope you had the time of your life."
