I've been waiting to hear if my nephew passed his GED test today. I do so hope that God allowed him to pass it the first time. I don't want my nephew to feel discouraged or give up. Now that I have put this in writing, I realize that my viewpoint is patronizing. Devin's a man, and if he needs to take the test again, he will! I'm thinking of him as a little boy, who will give up.
I just finished reading a Louis L'Amour book about a native American test pilot who was captured and imprisoned by the Soviets and how he escaped to cross the Bering Sea. It was about 25% too long, but still enjoyable. As in most of the L'Amour books I have read the emphasis is on the hero overcoming the environment and evil men in order to survive and help others. I wish that he had shortened the details of the struggle to escape through Siberia, and put some details to the end of the story, and the hero's battle with the evil Yakut tracker, and how he is going to get back with his sweetheart. It seemed like L'Amour just got tired and stopped the story. Oh, well, can't have everything every time!
I don't want daylight savings time to start tomorrow. I just hate the time changes. They always knock me out for about a week. I will offer it up, though, and that will be something good out of it.
