On Wednesday, I got to class in the middle of a video about the effects on people of receiving only one source of information about things, and how the government can do this. We had a discussion while answering questions about it and then some shared their responses to some of the questions.

I learned that a country or government has every right to absolutely restrict information from its residents as well as give them any information about the countries outside of theirs, whether it is true or not. This impacted me because I knew this was possible, but I hadn't seen the extent of it that was shown in the video and in the examples that Mr. Rease mentioned. With this knowledge, I am much more thankful to be in a country where we aren't super restricted when it comes to matters of what we can know and where we can go. 

I liked the topic of the lesson. it was very interesting and easy to stay engaged with. even though I didn't share any answers, I was very easily paying attention to every minute because of the topic.

Today (Thursday) I am feeling great. I led a group in our 2nd FCA SAIL bible study meeting, and it went wonderfully. I also shared with a student on the way up to school about our human spirit, the organ God created us with to contact and receive Him, and we had a time with the Lord.

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 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...

Today we started working on a presentation about a character of The Sorrow of War , I chose to do it about Kien; about what 10 things I would find in his trash can. While reading today, I learned more about what Kien's relationship with his parents was like as well as he and Phuong's relationship right before Kien went off to war. What Phuong said about Kien's dad impacted me, I did not expect her to say that.  I liked this class period. I got a good amount of work done and I have been slowly progressing in my google slides since we ended class. It's surprisingly hard to come up with more than 7 things I would find in Kien's trash can. Today, I am feeling good. I went to sleep earlier last night at about 10:30 (still not early enough) so waking up at 6 was not hard. My goal is to be in bed by the latest 9:30 every day. I was pretty productive today so I feel fulfilled in that sense. Still, nothing makes me feel any more fulfilled than being filled with the triune Go...
