Tonight I attended the second awards night for our Royal Ranger and Teen Girls Ministries groups. We held all of the awards over and gave them to each kid group by group and then finished up.

I have been in this program since the very first wednesday night at our church. Tonight was my last night as a boy. I am now going to be recognized as a young man and luetinant commander.  Tonight I walked away with the Achievement Medal, GMA, Silver, Bronze, 75 Spirit Challenges and many awards. I received a buck knife from Pastor Himself. I really want to thank the church for a wonderful career in the Ranger program and all that it has done for me. I think that this is a ministerial proram that is out to change the course of every boy’s life to the path of Jesus Christ.

I would also like to thank Pastor Cliff Scheline who has been my leading commander for 14 years. All the time he put into making me who I am will never be forotten. Wherever I go, and whatever I do, I will never forget him. Nor will I forget the furvor and energy he placed on making a difference small or great on someone’s life. For me…. it was a great difference, and I am all the better and closer to God for it. Thanks, Pastor.  Thanks to you, I did it!
