Howdy you all!!! YOU DID IT!.. With the help of so many of you who I send this Happy Monday to, you were a part of making our goal of the initial endowment of the Jake Siefert Texas A&M Corp Chaplain Scholarship! Despite the national heat wave, 76 golfers and a host of volunteers and family made the golf tournament a success.
I will be updating all the webpages within a couple of weeks with pictures and all the official news of the scholarship, tell you where we hope Crede Deo can go now, but I think my brother said it best, and although I don’t have his exact words I will paraphrase. The game of golf served as the bridge between Jake’s faith, the Grace that he knew and knows in Heaven to the difference that the Corp Chaplains who will receive the scholarship will make as they shepherd students at A&M.
Our family thanks you, from the bottom of our hearts, for your willingness to help with our loss by giving to others.
God Bless you
The poem this week is from
Maya Angelou (discovered by my brother)
Lift up your faces, you have a piercing need
For this bright morning dawning for you.
History, despite its wrenching pain
Cannot be unlived, but if faced
With courage, need not be lived again.
Lift up your eyes upon
This day breaking for you.
Give birth again
To the dream.
God bless you.Here, on the pulse of this new day
You may have the grace to look up and out
And into your sister’s eyes, and into
Your brother’s face, your country
And say simply
Very simply
With hope —
Good morning.
