I was thinking about Jospeh today and how his plans were thwarted time and again by either his own conduct or the actions of others, but despite poor circumstances, God was sovereign over it all.
This was a comfort to me in light of the last few fumbled classes. At least last Thursday wasn't a waste, but this today... perhaps God just wanted to bless you guys with some extra time. Thinking I had in my backpack the folders containing your papers, I left Hilton Head yesterday only to find this morning that I had left them behind. Consequently Sarah is bringing the folders home when she returns tomorrow. I was very sad that I couldn't meet and go over your papers with you all today!
Plan B? (or C, D, E.. whatever we're on at this point): Hopefully you have all begun reading Till We Have Faces. Please read through chapter 15 by next Thursday so that we can attempt to stay on track. Tuesday appointments will still take place, and if you are in town and want to make up for today, please join the party!
WRITING ASSIGNMENT (journal entry):
For the 10th graders: Please keep a list of character details about each of the main characters in the story. What are they like? What are their strengths and weeknesses?
For the 11th & 12th graders: Keep track of details that relate to the major theme of faith vs. reason. Write down any quotes you think are pertinent.
Your journal entry will be due Tues., March 24th.
