I have a test in about ten minutes over about three months of material. You really can't study for a test of this size. Unless you don't' have a job, responsibilities or a life in general. It involves math formulas which I have memorized for the moment. You know how it goes; recite them backwards forwards and in your sleep but will you remember them for the test. The law of probability says, "you will remember enough of the material to be confident that you did well and then will be shocked back to reality when you barely pass the test." As I write I can hear then last minute cramming in the hall, terms and discussion of them. Most of the guys here are focused on the mission field, though there are a few of them that I have a feeling the mission field would be better off without. Harsh, I know, but only those who are going to do a true work for God should go. Makes me wonder what drives some of these fellows to make this type of commitment.

Talked to my cousin last night, have to call him back tonight and finish the conversation. There are a lot of people who do not understand my family. From my grandma to the great grandchildren we get together two times a year, Christmas and Fourth of July. Every one trys to make it, accept for Uncle Phil. The last few years he has not shown up. He has had a few good reasons but not always. He had better show up this year!!! Hear that Uncle; we are going to give you a hard time at the wedding. You had better be there, not that we will do anything to you but harass you one way or another:-)

Going to go study. I'll finish this later.

Well I finished the test and it was not that bad, till I the results come in and I have come face to face with the reality of my own incompetence. Just kidding it was really very easy. Some generous folks brought lunch to the school today. Not sure what it is but it smells delicious. Granted a bachelor, who never cooks, is writing this.

I have one night of work left and then the weekend. Mike, Mike and I are going to do something on Sat. (Yes they are different Mike's) We were going to lift weights but I sprained my wrist awhile back and it seems to be getting worse. I could be tough and try but that would be counter productive and painful. Have a great weekend and be in a Bible believing church on Sunday.
