 On Monday, we answered 19 questions about what we've read so far in Fences. 

With these comprehension questions, I learned a lot more about Fences than I had already known. It impacted me by being surprising, how many things about characters became clear to me that I hadn't known prior to answering these questions, because I had to look some of the answers up and revisit certain pages for quotes supporting ideas. With this knowledge, I plan (more predict) that I will do much better on the quiz we will inevitably have on this play.

I liked that because we had a sub, (nothing personal, Mr. Rease) it was very chill and we could work more at our own pace from the start to end of the period on an assignment given at the beginning. Having a sub was just a nice switch-up of pace.

I am doing this post a day late, but yesterday I was feeling a little stressed. I am starting a Bible-reading club and I need 15 signatures of interest from students (by Friday) to make it happen. I already have a sponsor, but it's just about finding fellow students who want to get to know our Lord more personally through His living Word. Now, on Tuesday, I have more signatures and am feeling much more confident. See Tuesday's post for details. (September 19)

Today we had a substitute teacher and I came in pretty late, but we were given an assignment about the Vietnam war to do in Commonlit, which I've still yet to start on.  I learned more rules about level three lockdowns because we had to do a drill during this class period. I liked this class, but I wish we didn't have to sit in the corner for so long for the lockdown. I would have got much more work done. Jesus is God! I love enjoying God.

 Today we started on a presentation about "A Devoted Son." We got a lot of work done in the long class. I had to battle my OCD because the fonts were all over the place from the theme that I set, and many other formatting things were inconsistent in the presentation while/after we worked on it. I have a problem with taking over too much in group projects because my OCD so strongly wants everything to be my orderly way. I think that I've somewhat overcome this. I kept the weird non-theme-fitting font, but I had to at least make every slide's font the same. I hope we get a good grade on this assignment! O Lord Jesus, how I need You today. Lord, don't let me forget about Your sweet name and Your life-giving Spirit that I can breathe in simply by calling out to You.

 Today I came in a bit late and we were going over two poems, and then answered questions about them on canvas for the rest of class. I wish I came in earlier, because the first poem was called "The Lamb" and it was pretty Biblical; it was about the Lord Jesus but it was very hard to follow. I don't think God made me with a poetry-keen brain, which I am completely fine with. I had some great fellowship with Mr. Rease about the poems and in general about God's predestination and such.  This is the last assignment of the day that I need to get done and it's 3:09; school is about to end. I love doing my schoolwork here because I can go home and enjoy the Lord without Him reminding me to take care of my human responsibilities, because I already have! The Lord has really been getting me through this day; I got 7-ish hours of sleep and I can't wait to take a power nap when I get home. Thank You Lord Jesus, for Your so easily-accessible presence, a simple two words a...
