STUDY, STUDY, STUDY
That's what I've been doing the past several weeks--in addition to work and church and other things. I have spent parts of many days studying at work over the last few weeks. I spent two days this week studying at home.
I'm only about half way through the thick book and have only listened to a small part of the first CD. :( And I haven't done as well as I had hoped or would have liked on the self-exams at the end of each chapter.
Time has about run out. Next week is the Pathfinders course to prepare me to pass the exam! At least that's what the course is supposed to do! It is Monday Through Thursday, 8 a. m. to 5 p. m. and homework each evening. (I've had plenty of advice and warnings -- and some encouragement, too -- from people who have taken and passed the exam before me. But I know some who haven't passed it, too.)
I take the State exam Tuesday, October 11th. It is a three-hour exam. I am fortunate in that I can take it here in Indianapolis. I was first told that I would have to go to Evansville or Fort Wayne! And the location for the exam is on the west side of Indy, not far from where I live and work. So I'm glad I can take the exam in my city soon after taking the course.
I will be calling in all the prayers I can from my friends on Tuesday, October 11th! And a few prayers regarding being able to understand and retain what I can from the course would be appreciated.
Having the "opportunity?" to engage in something like this does wonders for spirituality and one's prayer life!
Hopefully this explains my lack of Posts lately and my silence over the next week or so. I'll try to update you on my progress but no promises. But please pray!
Tuesday is Karon and my 36th wedding anniversary. I am at least going to take her to dinner at one of her very favorite places-- The Red Lobster. That's the day before her next treatment so she'll be feeling the best she will for a couple of weeks. I'm bummed out because this will be the first time I will not have been able to go to the doctor with her before she has her treatment. :(

Jim, I can totally relate to your study woes! I go for a big three-hour exam on October 18th. I have to drive 5 hours though to take it in Dallas. They only give the exam once a year. Study, study, study is right!
Congratulations to you and Karon for 36 years :) I hope you have an awesome anniversary!
