GED

The following questions and answers were sent to me by e-mail and even though they are funny to read, I also considered it to be a little sad, because these answers were given by 16 year olds on a GED (General Educational Development) exam last year.

We all learn during our life and most of the time that is by making mistakes. None of us has all the knowledge and wisdom and even though many times we don't understand the how, what and why, we just have to step out on faith and leave it in God's capable hands. God knows best!

Daniel 2:20
Daniel answered and said: “ Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, For wisdom and might are His.
