Two years has gone fast. There has been numerous hot tamales, tortilla chips and NCIS Los Angeles episodes.

In about two weeks I graduate from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago with a Masters degree. The pandemic has stolen the thunder from my little crew, but we are still heading toward our goal. There won’t be a ceremony but there will be a presentation.

My crew is made up of five other people who with I have taken classes, eaten meals and solved the world’s problems. Like iron sharpening iron, we have honed each others talents, laughed till we cried and learned more than our minds could hold.

So what I have learned is that not all of the people you hang with today are permanent in your life. Some are just there for a season. Enjoy the season. Learn from the season. Recognize when it is over.

even though some days we don’t feel like it. Let the Queen always reign in you.

He is risen, indeed!

Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen! Luke 24:6
