Best way to stay current

Due to a new job, rotator cuff surgery, and prostate cancer treatment, I've decided not to ref this year. I hope to be back next year, though, so I would like to get books and tests from this year. Here are my options:

- For about $100 I can register and take exams, even though I won't recoup the money with any games.

- For about $15 I can get printed books directly from NSF, but I won't get PDF versions. I can beg one of you to send me the exams next March when you know I am not trying to cheat, and I might even get PDFs if I ask real nice.

I may sign on as a rookie mentor with my association, and I will probably do a few wreck games next March if I am up to it. What is the best way to stay up to date when you must take a year off?

First and foremost, take care of yourself and I pray that your health will get better. Your family needs you more than officiating. You are certainly in my prayers and I am sure the prayers of many here. I do not get the NF test, but I would be willing to send you any information that you might want access to.

Once again take care of yourself and stick around I know I would like to know your progress.

Peace

First, my hopes and prayers for a full recovery. Take care of yourself.

Signing on as a mentor is an excellent idea. Or, if you association uses observers or evaluators, ask about that.

Always Listen To James ...



And their prayer offered in faith will heal the sick, and the Lord will make them well. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and wonderful results. (James 5:15-16)
