This is awesome! When I first heard about it, while in Alaska, I felt extremely sad because I know how much you impact the lives of the student that you work with at SC on a daily basis. Now that I've had more time to think about it, I realize that this is just one more exciting destination that God is taking you to and there is no better or safer place to be than in His will and His leading. So, yay! Praise God that it has all come together. I know that the student there will be extremely blessed by you. I'll be praying. Please stay in touch Steve! And I'll try to keep up with your blog on here. :-) Steve! This is awesome!

And yet I'm also saddened a bit to know that you won't be just down the road at SC. I don't know if I ever told you this or not, but you were one of the people who helped me to clarify my call into ministry, and because of that you will always hold a special place in my heart.(Thank you for that, I think! lol) I've always known you were available to bounce an idea off of, or to seek wisdom from. I will miss seeing you as often- SC Homecoming just won't be the same anymore. --I wonder how many of your students can say that they took your courses in both undergrad AND graduate school! God Bless You!!! And thanks for everything!! Steve,

I have to tell you that I was driving Dr. Stephen Manskar from the airport one evening in January and we were playing the game of who you know. He mentioned you with great affection and I told him, "I don't need to know who else you know, 'cause if you know Dr. Rankin, you know everyone else." And its especially true in this conference for you faithful work has impacted many, many people, especially those who call you their students. Thank you for being faithful and for sharing your life with us. I'll be reading your blog to keep in touch with all God continues to do with you and to see how Jesus is being proclaimed in this new era of your life! Congratulations! Kim S. Dr. Rankin,
