Labor Day weekend

The three day weekend is promising to be as humid as the summer months; in fact, Jill announced that the weather report called for a full week of high temperatures and high humidity, broken only by one or two small rains.

Our studies in the classroom involve the doctrines of God among other things.  This has brought up numerous strong points of discussion, mainly in the names of God which describe His character.

Yahweh Maccadesham - "God who cleanses."
Yahweh Shalom - "God of peace."
Yahweh Raah - "God the Shepherd."

... many more that give our students the fact that God names Himself the mighty attributes that we can rely upon.

R came to me and told me of an atheist that is baiting her family over the internet.  She wasn't so much scared or intimidated as she was determined.  Determined to know the Scripture well enough to take on the attacks.

M is having a turn for the better, it seems.  At first he was the prime example of self-centered ness, but I see a crack in the granite.  His attitude is getting better and his interest in the deeper things of the Word seems to be coming along.

B is going gung-ho to go to the Theology Camp.  So is J.  They both have stopped me in the halls to see what else they must do to qualify.

N wants to go mainly because his family is comprised mostly of unbelievers and he wants to get answers for himself as well as have places in the Bible for references for their queries.  I have noticed in class that he is ready with an answer, or a question, for that matter.  Mark it down - this young man will be going with us to the Camp.

Pi Kappa won this month's competition among the class teams.  They get an automatic 100 on the September test and a party as well.  They have earned it.
