As indicated earlier, my school year has begun. This week was exhausting; the first week always is: early classes (Wed. and Thurs. 8:00's), long evenings preparing, meeting and greeting students in addition to all regular duties.
The week-end has been complicated (and enhanced) with two All-American projects: 1) the family embarked on a DIY project and 2) Corky and I began teaching a new Sunday School class at Lovell Heights. We have entered into both projects with some trepidation.
First, the DIY project. We are re-doing the basement floor. Friday we pulled up the old carpet and Saturday began a chemical process of dissolving the remaining coating of yellow, jute-impressed, carpet glue. This removal project is continuing even as I write. Next, the floor will be given an epoxy-coating. Of course, it is more involved than first imagined. And, most of you know this about us, we are not DIY-ers. Thanks to Hope, Josh and Justin for volunteering their services to help the residents of 154 Holt Drive in Loudon.
Then, there's the new SS class. Lovell Heights is doing a kind of 3-month electives cycle of SS offerings. This is the second quarter. Corky and I are teaching a class called "Great Awakenings", a survey of revival movements. We have great hopes and ideals. Somewhere in the early part of my introduction this morning, I realized I am teaching the Sanctuary Class, an institution. Enough said.
