This is one of my toughest teaching weeks. As I seek to lay, or solidify a foundation of knowledge of the history of the Old Testament which leads to an understanding of the New Testament, I cover a lot every day. Sometimes by 7th period, it is all I can do to sit on my stool and cover the ground… But I am blessed with five great classes of engaged students, most of whom have really good attitudes. For that I am thankful. I sure am glad for Labor Day and look forward to some rest.

Well, the week of preparation is over and we start classes this Monday! I’m pretty excited, but am not ready… but then, it’s not the night before yet, right Liz… wait… Liz is gone! With whom will I share the blue wing Sunday night before school??? Or should I try to get in to hear Third Day…. or should I get the class blog ready? or write my sylabus? hmmmmm… I know! I should go to Greenberrys and hang out with someone!!! There’ll be lots of time for prep!!!! After all I’ve got my lessons ready… yeah, a tall dark roast with a little room please! I just need some routine…

Monday morning, one of our early views of the CA coast…
later in the day we saw these elephant seals… your should see the fight video!Early Tuesday at Pismo Beach

as the sun rises over the nearby hill the waves shine…as you can see the ocean is met by a pretty good hill… up on the top of the hill in the early morning the cattle were making a lot of noise…

On Tuesday, Sweet Anna and I had a great morning at Pismo on the beach then we headed to LA… ugh

After LA we headed to SanDeigo on Wednesday… the traffic… ugh
