Timmy and Kat

I want to do a post about all my wonderful nephews and nieces. Today's post will be about our family's theologian. Timmy's wife, Kat, just got into veterinarian school in Raleigh, North Carolina. Timmy has been waitlisted at Duke University's Divinity school. Please pray that Timmy gets in. If he doesn't get in, he will go to Campbell University's Divinity school and transfer to Duke after a year. I am so proud of both of them, and their future is bright.

Timmy, never forget where you came from. Be proud. You come from good stock. Your uncle is a senior test engineer (his degree is in electrical engineering). You have an aunt who is an eye doctor, and another who has been a wonderful educator and human being. Your cousin is finishing out her last year of law school at UC Boulder with honors. Your grandfather was a veteran. Did you know that your great grandmother was one of the first Christian converts in Korea? She was led to Christ by Methodist missionaries some time in the 40's. These early Korean Christians met in one another's homes, and the story is that she contracted TB while doing door to door witnessing, and that is how she died. Her name was Wil Mae Cho. Tell your kids about her. Anyway Timmy, if you ever do feel bad about where you come from (especially after looking at that Mullet Timmy photo), just watch an episode of My Name is Earl. You'll feel better. Who couldn't love Earl?

These are sooo cute. The picture of him in the leather jacket looks just like him now, except last time I saw him, he had chin hair.

Thanks for sharing.

I miss those boys so much. That last pic of Timmy reminds me of his tough guy demeanor. It was just a show for his brothers. He was always really sensitive when he wasn't delivering an excruciatingly painful headbutt.

Do you remember that day where he had been given a Gideon bible, and he brought it to us, opening it up and looking so radiant and happy? You said he would be a preacher then. Good call.
