I must admit, I felt amazingly peaceful and confident during the exam. Even if I didn't do as well as I would like, at least I was spared the agony of being nervous and stressed. Paul's words to the Philippians were, of course, very helpful: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus...I can do everything through him who gives me strength." Oh, and BTW; when I entered the law library just prior to my exam, I notice that there was an electric Menorah plugged in and sitting on the front desk. At the other end of the counter, was a miniature Christmas tree. But alas, no cross, nativity scene, nor anything even REMOTELY ALLUSIVE to the real meaning of the upcoming holiday. Sure, I have no problem with the Menorah being there; it doesn't in the least bit offend me. I wonder, though, if everyone would feel the same way if I requested that a cross be placed there as well... Just a thought. Thanks for prayers….
