Yet another

trip to Anchorage that is. Last Thursday I headed up again - back home on Friday. I will be going up again this coming Friday, but only a day trip this time - time for the 60,000 mile service on the car. Yup, wouldn't be quite so soon if it hadn't been for all of those trips to good old anchortown.

Now you might be wondering (then again, you might not) why all the trips. These last few have been made with a mission certain. One was for the weekend - a 16 hour pre-licensing course. The next was for the licensing exam. The third - made necessary by a poor showing on the second - was for the licensing exam.

Licensing????? Huh????

Well, these addled old brains tackled and completed a prelicensing course in Insurance - Life and Health.

The first exam netted ONE passing score - the Health portion of the exam. The second exam was necessary because I needed to pass all four sections! So, more studying and lots of prayer went into those next five days.

I am here to praise the Lord because of His mercy. Thursday I went back to Anchorage - and passed the other three portions - Life, Alaska Life and Alaska Health (those are the law portions - Alaska statutes, etc.). Did not do it on my own - this was all due to the Lord. He granted me the information I needed when I needed it.

So, I have been duly fingerprinted and the information has all been sent in for processing for my license. Yay!!

Down the road a little way . . . the securities licensing exam. No pre-licensing course available for this one, so good old pure study hall stuff. Ouch my graying locks.

So, there you have it friends - what the PurpleMoose has been up to - and the reason for the quietness.

But, to satisfy your Alaska hungry eyes:

Taken along the road on the way to Anchorage this last time.

And . . . . closer to home . . .
