I'm Back

[dbserv]

Okay, I've been gone for almost a year.

It's been a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG year with many, many changes in our life.


It's also been a GREAT year of totally leaning on the Lord and for Him coming through again and again and again.



I went back to college (freshman, since my TC credits won't transfer) and after 22 units, I have a 4.0 average!!! PTL!!!!!



Now, some health changes are taking place which we don't know what they are and I need my family to pray for me. Facing lots of tests to see what is causing anemia that seems to be caused by an unknown source of internal bleeding.


Once again depending on Him to bring us through.



Some of you have seen this on FB, but it is too open and NOT the family we have here.

So, I'm sorry I've been gone so long (getting those grades took me about 60 hours per week of studying and tutoring).

But, I know you will accept me back in and pray for me as any family does. :):)

Thanks and God Bless.

Welcome back

Awsome report on the grades and yes, I am holding you in prayer for a total breakthrough in the area of your health.

[dbserv]

Thanks, Paul.

I forgot to add that I could use prayer for my "attitude" as well.


I took this semester off so I could have shoulder surgery (6 weeks without being able to write with my writing arm wasn't going to work). The anemia was found during pre-op work-ups.

Of course, now the surgery has been postponed because my Dr. says "You are very ill and we can't risk it." Had I known one week earlier, I would not have dropped my classes and I could have gotten in, even though school had started a week before that.


Also, we have NO health insurance and the colonoscopy is supposedly "over $3,000.00" alone. Not counting all of the lab work, etc.

My surgery was covered under "life-time medical" for a job injury in 2002. But, they won't cover all of the tests to see where the bleeding is happening.


I know that HE is my PROVIDER and am looking forward to what HE does to meet the need!!!

Thanks again for the prayers!

Welcome back Brother Dan!!! Good to hear from you again. I am really encouraged to hear about your grades as I am thinking of going back to college again.
I will be praying for you please keep us updated.

[Shellie]

Welcome back....you were missed!

Praying for your health and financial needs.

....and for your schooling. I am back in college as well...not easy when you are not 18.

Dan glad you are back.

Hope you feel better soon.
But unfortunately that's why they call a DR's office Practice.

They practice on you.


Question. Why did the credits not transfer?

All of mine transferred From TC in to a State run school here in NC.

Even my Bible Classes Old and New Testament were accepted as Philosophy classes.

First, Dan, it's really good to see you back on the board, and while I'm sorry about the difficulties and pray for your health and strength and provision, I can tell you're optimistic. Like Vance Havner preached, it's hard to be optimistic if you've got a misty optic. So, that's a big deal and I'm thankful for your attitude.

Second, like Billy, I wonder about TC credits, too. Mine transferred easily. Shoot, I graduated with a degree in communications and I never took a public speaking course --- and was actually a public speaking coach in an independent study! --- because my homiletics course at TC under James Wallace substituted for it. I'm probably the only graduate in the history of that program at the University of North Alabama to not actually take a true public speaking course!

Because my credits were so OLD (73/74) the state school here would have accepted them as well.


BUT, the gentleman @ COGOP HQ, who is in charge of the TC records, (I'm drawing a blank on his name, but I think he is Todd's boss) sent a letter with my "official transcript".

The letter advised my college that TC was NOT accredited during my time of attendance. That letter cost me the 41 units that I had earned @ TC.



The admissions office suggested that I advise TC to NOT send that letter along with the transcripts in the future.

I haven't done that, but perhaps some of you have a connection there and want to pass that info on to him.



Oh well, it's not so bad being a 53 year old freshman. LOL


Thanks again for your prayers.

Response: Glad you're back, sorry about your credits!

Welcome back Dan!

Response: Glad you're back, sorry about your credits!

Thanks.

That's all right.

I've accepted the fact that I have to take English and things like Philosophy and Marriage & the Family, again. The other classes would have helped my electives and saved me over $50,000.00 over the next 4 years of schooling. Hopefully, I will qualify for financial aid by next year and HOPEFULLY the feds won't reduce the financial aid too much. Then your tax dollars can pay for the extra costs.

Thanks, in advance, BTW.
