Telling the story of the Talents from the Bible, Boyd Christian School valedictorian Colin Stubblefield urged his fellow graduates to go out and succeed rather than waste their abilities by not trying.Commencement ceremonies were held Thursday night at Central Church of Christ for the Boyd class of 2015. The class graduated nine students including Stubblefield, salutatorian Jameson Caleb Rigsby, Brooklyn Paige Bain, Tyler Eugene Judkins, Lindsey Brooke Hennessee, Jay Martin, Edgar Anthony Morales, Hannah Marie Reed and Talynn Jade Terry.During his commencement speech, Stubblefield spoke about the parable of the Talent and how the master left talents with three of his servants. While two went out and grew their talents, one servant hid his talent and was chastised by the master when he returned.“Don’t be that one talent man who failed to do something with his talent for fear of failure,” said Stubblefield, noting Thomas Edison failed 10,000 times in his career as an inventor but never considered it failing.
