Last Monday of Ordinary Student Time for Spring Term

It was a good Easter.  We drove across the mountain to Faith Lutheran, where I preach and preside on a very part-time basis as a Synod Appointed Minister.  The energy in the church was happy, and I felt like my sermon went well.  You can view it here.

We drove back home, and in the few hours between our arrival and the arrival of my spouse's brother and his wife, I worked on my paper that is due later today.  This morning I'm almost done with it, and I'm pleased.

My in-laws aren't staying with us, but they're staying close by--one of the advantages of living on the grounds of a church camp.  They arrived, and we had a few hours of catching up and eating dinner.  Then we went with them to their room to make sure they were settled.

My spouse went to bed shortly after we returned, but I decided to stay up and get more work done.  Tonight in my seminary class, I need to present an overview of my paper, so I decided to create a PowerPoint.  

Soon I will head down the mountain to Spartanburg.  Today and tomorrow are my last in-person classes for this semester; they will not be hard because I'm going over my expectations for the final exam, which is a piece of writing.  I still have grading to do, of course.  Next week, I have a half day of meetings/trainings/breakfast and lunch, and graduation on Saturday.
