Jude's A Winner!

It's not an Olympic Silver Medal but it sure looks like one!

Jude placed really well at the speech meet sponsored by the Association of Christain Schools International. He recited Bible verses in the category of Bible Memorization for his grade level. An awards ceremony was held this afternoon to recognize the winners. Jude received a blue ribbon for "superior" in his category and a silver medal. He was so excited about both tokens of a job well done.

There was never any doubt in our minds that he would knock their socks off. He has confidence that usually takes years to build, and a love and acceptance of others. He's just so approachable and friendly. He stood on that stage, looked the judges in the eyes, and recited his verses. His Mom was also a good coach in preparing him for his stage appearance.

But hey, this kid was on the cover of Fort Worth Child magazine. Of course he won awards today. We're all so proud of him.

Jude is the Dude!

Jude, you are my hero! I am so proud of you.... Where are you going to display that special metal and ribbon? I think above the fireplace is a great place for everyone to see!

Love you
