Today was a longer day of finishing writing assignments due by tonight. We had a 3-5 page reflection paper due for one class and 5-7 Image of God essay due for another. For pretty much every class we’ve had to write something about the image of God. I even started looking through my google docs to see if there were any past paragraphs I could just stick in there toward the end of this last one. And then I was just like, “Oh whatever”. It was easier just to write the paragraph and that point.

It feels nice to have this other more laid-back teacher again. I have missed her quirky realness that pretty much goes on through the entirety of the class. I remember the first time I had her. I can’t remember what she said or did but I distinctly remembering being slightly taken aback, maybe even disappointed, thinking to myself, “Wait. No. You’re the one who’s supposed to have everything together.” She just makes me laugh with her verbal processing and occasional oversharing where she just tells us things.

Dad and the kids had a work day today. There were picnic tables to move and woodpiles to replenish. Several others showed up to help too so that was good. I took a break around 11AM to take a walk and see what everyone was doing. They were over by the CGC. One of the boys was holding Casper who was playing and hanging around with the others. Another started making a fire in the firepit. I was feeling rather somber for a lot of the day. I was thinking about how God is in charge of our health.
