6:33 a.m. - This week is going to be a long one. Temps are going to be in the 90's, and if three days of in-service days wasn't enough, now we have five longer days of in-service this week. BUT....taking the camper out this past weekend has replenished my energy and patience reserves, so "hi-ho, hi-ho; it's off to work we go!" I think I'm going to make a list of items to accomplish on the chalkboard and just try to keep myself busy. I foresee trying to create a lot of video tutorials that we can then gather into a digital resource library for students to use. I'm not sure how much those videos will get used, but the effort will at least help me keep my sanity through this week.
Things that I NOW think about with the coronavirus. (8/24)
Colleges and universities across the country seem to be surprised that their students on campus are not practicing social distancing requirements. They are congregating in large groups and doing some partying...what? Really? So many of those institutions are now going to all remote/online instruction.

Prayer for My Heart

a heart of love, that I may serve;
a heart of faith, that I may abide in the spirit.
Amen
