When I was in
sixth grade, my dad decided that we were going to move to Greenville, SC. He
was going to attend BJU and we were going to go to Bob Jones Academy. I
remember telling everybody at school and church, which in my circles would have
been mostly the same people. I was so sure we were going that you can imagine
the surprise and even my disappointment when I showed up for seventh grade at
TCA.
I don’t know why
we didn’t move. I just know that one day preparations were being made to move
and the next we were staying put. I wonder how my life would have turned out differently.
For one thing, I’d probably be a BJU graduate, in the ministry somewhere and
probably spouting off the party line. I’m glad we stayed put. I was able to
stay with my friends and I believe I received a better education and my life experiences
have been more diversified than they would have been if my family had become a
part of BJU.
