I haven&#8217;t had time to do much more blogging because I have two classes &#8220;on the ground&#8221; (meeting physically) this quarter instead of one class on the ground and the rest online. The second &#8220;on the ground&#8221; class is the introductory class for my department and is just busy work; but it means less time for blogging and a lot of other things because I&#8217;m on campus for an extra three hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I could probably log into one of the computers in the OFTEC classroom during my break between classes but I tend to use that time for silly things like eating lunch and doing homework.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; font-size: 130%;\"><a name=\"qt2\"><\/a><strong><a href=\"#qt2\" style=\"color: black; text-decoration: none;\">&#8212; 2 &#8212;<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>A new and wonderful hymn discovery.<\/strong> It&#8217;s dusky here and I&#8217;ve got a hymn called &#8220;Lead Kindly Light&#8221; on my mind. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.audreyassad.com\/\">Audrey Assad<\/a> does it beautifully.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align:center;margin-top:15px;margin-bottom:15px;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Lead Kindly Light - Audrey Assad\" width=\"584\" height=\"438\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7g2xe7RlD9k?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; font-size: 130%;\"><a name=\"qt3\"><\/a><strong><a href=\"#qt3\" style=\"color: black; text-decoration: none;\">&#8212; 3 &#8212;<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Easter update.<\/strong> Easter Sunday was glorious here.
