I kept reading and re-reading and re-re-reading to see if my eyes were failing me. I've never known of a chapter to pre approve someone for the next semester. But I'm a NEO and may have missed something new.

I've also never had to think about doing something that was optional versus something my family was involved with.

I was hoping the reader would re-read and think about his question or that I could think of some other topics and push it down to the second page.

Nothing SHOULD come before the birth of your child. You shouldn't have to ask the chapter anything. Your responsibilty after God is to your family.
