Carolyn Gilleylen, a very good friend of mine completed a major achievement by completing her studies at Dallas Theological Seminary to earn a Master of Arts degree in Christian Education.  She has worked hard on this for the last few years and I’ve watched her sacrifice in her personal life to complete these studies.  I, along with her blood family members are extremely proud of her for this accomplishment!  I had planned to attend the commencement exercises and since Mom was here with me, she also got a chance to join me in the celebration.

Throughout the seminary’s  history, it has steadfastly maintained its allegiance to biblical truth.  A doctrinal statement articulates the beliefs of Dallas Theological Seminary and each year the faculty and members of the Board reaffirm their agreement with this statement.

The commencement exercises were held at Prestonwood Baptist Church in Plano, Tx.  This church is huge!  Mom and I commented on how beautiful and spacious the facility is on the inside.  It is one of the largest megachurches in North America and the worship center seats 7,000 people.  This is huge by any standards!.

The ceremonies were organized and well executed.  With the screens in place we were able to see Carolyn very well as she received her honors.  It was a blessing to be able to share this joyous occasion with Carolyn and her family.    

And Mom can say that she’s attended a Seminary graduation and visited Prestonwood Baptist Church!  Great experience!!
