I was overcome with emotion when I heard the Pomp and Circumstance begin that day. To say that Ray has worked really hard is an understatement. Unlike most PhD. candidates, DMin students usually do not move to the campus and they continue their full time jobs to complete their degree. Ray has sacrificed considerable time to study, write and defend his work. It was very common for him to be awake at 4:00 am and stay up late at night to work. His thesis is The Role of Bible Intake in the Marriage of Charles and Susannah Spurgeon. I'm so proud of him for his work.
Dr. Don Whitney (on the right) was his direct supervisor and proved to be the perfect person to keep Ray moving in the right direction at the right time. Dr. Joe Harrod (on the left) was his second reader (whatever that is, but he seemed to help a lot.)
Josiah, Abigail and Susannah
This degree was truly a family affair. We never studied for Ray and almost never read any of his work, but we really missed his presence. It's been great seeing this load lifted from him.
