The Final Undergraduate Struggle

About Me
- Philip Mayer
- I was born and raised in a strong Christian atmosphere as the second child in a family of eight kids. I had a wonderful time growing up with my siblings, working as a lifeguard, a cook, horse trainer, salesman and a variety of other experiences before beginning college in 2000, studying business with hopes of becoming rich. That changed when God’s call to become a pastor became a strong influence in my life and I flew down to Florida to begin studying for ministry. There, I met and married my wife and finished my undergraduate education, while enjoying the warm sun and meeting many new friends. Then it was back up to the snowy north for three years of seminary before ordination in the Episcopal Church where I happily served a small parish for three years. And now, for reasons of conscience I have decided to become Catholic. Life is an adventure.

way to go...
...on both the premeditated convincing and the approaching graduation.
I rememer someone saying recently that there are those who jog and then there are those like himself who feebly moan as the runners fly by, "go .... go ...." and wish they too could run.
Proud of you bro ... I know how hard the last few challenges in that road can be. I've been there. I'm proud of you. Run!
Oh and I loved your "premeditated convincing" thought ... wish I had your quick tongue and lawyer-like instincts ...
Hey Phil,
This is Ashlee (remember me from New Jerusalem?) Well anyways, i just wanted to say congrats on all the changes taking place in your life! I wish you and your fiance' all of god's blessing. Congrats on the graduation....i will be there....some day....=)
See ya,
Ashlee
Hey Ashlee,
It's good to hear from you. Keep up the hard work. I'm sure that you would look great in a hat and gown. I sure do miss you, and everyone else. What's your email address?
I am so proud of you son, as I am of all my children; you've worked very hard and should be proud to walk down that isle next Saturday.
It's hard to put into words how it feels as a mother to watch her children grow, learn, grow, experience life, learn, grow, leave home, learn, grow, learn and learn.
You've always been my adventuresome child, leading your siblings from one adventure to another, and now you're about to launch into another adventure, perhaps several.
I'm so excited for you and watch with anticipation to see where God leads you next.
See you soon.
Love,
Mom
Hmm...I'm excited for you...and Melissa! Congratulations! It will be awesome to see where God takes you. God Bless!
Congratulations! Sorry we couldn't spend more time talking with you, but I'm sure you had other people to say hi to as well. I can't wait to see where life will take you. Keep in touch even when you move to Massachussetts, okay? I hope to talk to you soon. You and Melissa are always welcome to come over and hang out with Matt and I. Talk to you soon!
