--A week from tomorrow, I need to have a 1-2 page bibliography for my Environmental History of Christianity class, so this morning, I did some library/online searches. I've gone from being afraid that I might have no sources to being afraid that I have too many sources--and afraid that any ideas I have may have been done to death already.
--In that class, I could avoid a big paper by being part of a small group that would meet by way of Zoom periodically (4-6 times for the term) and discuss other works. I think I prefer to write the paper. The small group might be wonderful, but I really need the flexibility of an asynchronous class. I don't want to have to commit to a Zoom session--and frankly, I don't have as much time as I once would have for a scheduled meeting.
--Today I need to plan for the PowerPoint I need to create for Thursday. Tomorrow at church, I'll need to take some photos. Here's the assignment:
Create an upload a 10-15-slide “Show and Tell” PowerPoint/Canva (or any software of choice) presentation introducing your worshiping tradition/s, both past and current.
It needs to have images and/or videos, and it needs to cover baptism and communion and what worship spaces look like. So I need to make sure I have some images.
--Yesterday I went for a mid-afternoon walk in shorts and a long-sleeved T-shirt, and returned home very sweaty. Yes, I returned home sweaty on the last Friday afternoon in January.
--I saw this article in The New York Times and thought the title would make a great line for a poem: What do you call a galaxy without stars?
We have lots of rain in the forecast today, so let me bring this writing to a close and head out for my walk. The weather conditions aren't likely to be better later. I'm pretty sure I won't return home sweaty this morning.
