 Today, we read an article about an interview done over 50 years ago with Martin Luther King Jr., and also watched the interview that the article is based on. The interview shows King's view of the at-the-time situation of racial inequality in America, three years after his famous "I have a dream" speech.

I learned a lot about MLK, as well as a different view of how he was working things out back when (illegal yet present) segregation was much more prominent in society. This impacted me by King providing a lot of deeper insight on the problems of society at the time, ways I hadn't looked at it before. I liked what King brought out about the emancipation proclamation being "freedom yet famine." I have a much more detailed appreciation for MLK now after this lesson.

I liked this lesson, because it was a change-up from what we are usually doing every day now. There wasn't anything to dislike about the lesson, other that its a long block day, but that's not the class's fault.

Today, I am feeling good but distracted. I forgot to take my adderall, so working on things here is a little more difficult, but other than that I am doing fine. I enjoyed the Lord singing with my dad this morning, which was very nice, and had a good breakfast. I need to continue striving to, as each new day comes, eat more Jesus than the day before. I love how easily accessible the Lord is to feed on just by calling on Him; "Lord Jesus." even to complain or argue with Him about why things are going a certain way. He's a person, He can and will meet you where you are, and be the great "I Am" to you in your situation.

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...
