Oklahoma Christian University's Honors Program

Abigail has been looking at all her options for college.  She's weighed playing college softball versus academics.  Her top school is Oklahoma Christian University.  

OC has the Honor's college that accepts about 5% of the incoming freshman class.  The Honors Political Science program is very solid, in fact 100% of their students have past the LSAT for the last six years! 

Our trip to OC today was for Abigail to interview with the head of the Honors department, Dr. Baird for the program.  She's made it past the application and phone interview and today is her one on one interview!  If it goes well, she should receive her acceptance letter into the program by Christmas! Of course it shouldn't hurt that her letter of recommendation was from General Tommy Franks! 

Turn from evil and do good;

    seek peace and pursue it.   Psalm 34:14

My Distinguished Delegate

Abigail returned from her  trip to Washington, DC.  She had a great time at the nation Model U.N. conference.  I'm blown away that she was accepted into Collin College’s Model U.N. program even though she’s still in high school and homeschooled at that! 

The delegation from Collin College represented the Member State of Cameroon. There were 151 Member States represented at the conference including universities from Texas Tech, Figi National University, Reitaku in Japan, WSC Italy, just to name a few. As a group the delegation from Collin won the Distinguished Delegation Award for their honorable conduct. 

Abigail and her partner Ian were awarded a Position Paper Award. My little home schooled, softball catching, piano playing, Bible Bowling little girl has been invited back to Model U.N. in New York in the Spring!  

While in Washington the students were able to visit the capital, the Washington Monument, and the Smithsonian.  She came home with so many wonderful stories.  I'm so grateful she had this opportunity and that she is able to articulate what she believes and use her words to persuade others, that is a talent required for all believers. 

In your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect. I Peter 3:15
