11 Weeks till Home!

After turning in our massive Kings and Chronicles assignment on Tuesday, we heartily welcomed the two small books of wisdom literature that occupied us for the rest of the week. We covered Ecclesiastes for two days, and now we're finishing up Song of Songs. To address the elephant in the room, the lecture on Song of Songs was handled brilliantly. Admittedly, it could easily be an awkward book with a mix of guys and girls, and the majority of the class being single. Our school leader taught the book and managed to explain it with minimal awkwardness and a huge amount of insight into the numerous confusing figures of speech.

Next week we're tackling Job, then getting a prophet overview before we spend the next nine weeks buried in the books of the prophets.

I should note a big praise for God's provision! The nearing end of school has left me hesitant to spend too much money on groceries, knowing that whatever we don't use we'll have to leave behind. This week our good friends were packing up to move to Oregon and blessed us with all of the food they weren't taking with them! YAY! Thank you, God!

Other news-- Jesse's birthday is today! THREE packages arrived yesterday afternoon! Excellent timing, everyone!

We had coffee cake muffins (and mini muffins!) in class to celebrate (not made by me).

Another "big event" is the end of Jesse's one-month mustache! He started on March 16th and didn't shave till today. Here's his handiwork:

Haha, I'm sure you all desperately wanted to see this!

Have a great week!
