So, as I'm getting ready for bed I realized I did not mention all that Victor and I accomplished today. He invited me to meet him for lunch at the Fort Ground Grill on the local junior college campus after his placement test. After our impromptu "date" we attended an orientation and met with the admissions advisor to discover Vic has 69 college credits which is equivalent to an AA degree since they require 64 credits. However, the college just stopped their electronics program two years ago which is the majority of Victor's classes, therefore his 1 1/2 years in technical college all went to electives, his 10 years in the Navy went for 1 PE class, yes ONE and the only classes that were transferable were the 4 he took while on deployment through the Central Texas College Instructor that went on deployment with the ship and nothing for his MCSE and CCNA computer certifications. So instead of just 1 semester of classes he needs to take 2 semesters of classes (8 total equaling 27 credits) which is 1 year of college that would take about 2-4 years to complete only doing 1 or 2 classes at a time on top of working full-time and possibly being in the reserves. His last 24 years of experience and variety of classes through 3 schools equals one year of college. Uggghhhh! Think we will look for a different college that can accept his electronics classes. Trying to get his diploma for a job promotion opportunity. Hoping his work will accept that he has the equivalent of an AA degree and still promote him. Prayers appreciated. That reminds me of the second thing I want to share. I had one of those moments this morning during my devotions when I discovered the Bible chapter I was reading to the boys for the day is the same one that was mentioned in a new book I was reading last night for my personal devotions. Interesting! Even more intriguing since the boys and I have been working through the Bible chronologically for 2 1/2 years and I happened to land on Psalms 133 in the same 24 hour period that my new devotional book mentions the same passage the night before. Wow! Whenever I find something come up two or three times in a short time frame I figure God is wanting to show me something. It is also significant because we have been working very hard to help Spencer and Carter get along with each other. So here is Psalm 133. It's only 3 verses and is one of the songs of ascent which the Priests would sing as they climbed the steps of the temple. "How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity! It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron's beard, down upon the collar of his robes. It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the Lord bestows his blessing, even life forevermore." |
