Greetings,
It was a week of living out Romans 5:3-5; three separate plumbing repairs at home, dealing with a room at Dixon that was like a sauna, no passes issued for all four of Sheridan classes, students choosing to ignore requests to stop talking.
The possibility of having to cancel all four Sheridan classes was thankfully avoided when a Major and Lieutenant took it upon themselves, despite having a busy workload, to make calls to all the units opening the way for some students to attend. The turnout was below average, but it was better than having to cancel altogether.
To Him be the glory!
