Comments...

I've changed how comments work, just for your information, and now you will not immediately see your comment posted. They come to my e-mail box before they're posted. At first I thought it would be incredibly annoying but have now decided that it's a good way not to load up any more pages than necessary, i.e. coming to this website every time I come on the computer to see if anybody has posted a comment.

All that to say... thanks for your comments! We really appreciate them - and even more your prayers!

And... we had a downpour of rain last night. Power just went off right now for some weird reason but it has been fairly consistently lately. Classes are going pretty well. Em and I have been particularly strict on the rules this semester and millions of kids were on detention yesterday. My SrAps continue to talk so much that I feel we're not getting anywhere - okay, well minus Alvin, Ray, and KI. My sophomores were doing wonderfully but a few more kids have shown up and, well, it makes a huge difference in behavior of some other kids. As they go through these Romans questions I have been trying to force them to critically think - can you force someone to do that? It's been challenging for them but I think that's really good. They can do it - well, then can at least try their hardest and do it a little bit. And you can pray for my junior regular speech class... I tried to get them to do some exercises yesterday and only a small handful was participating. So that's pretty bad and I don't know what to do.

Anyway, that's all for now. Please, keep up the prayers. God is good.

I need to get ready for school...
