Week 3

I love when God gives us the theme that will integrate our subjects for the week.  This week it was how men, being the head of the household, are symbolic of Christ over his bride.  Best quote ever, "If the man is the head, than the woman is the neck."  I love these boys ;) This also came up at the end of the day when we were getting the talk about doing our work and not goofing around and talking.  Leaders lead by example.

Snack next week: McClamroch

Prayers: safe travels Dees; Ian Chicken Pox Missed you both this week!

Lost Tools: We introduced a new element of elocution, parallelism.  If you go through the student guide and still do not understand, please let me know.  I have some DVD's I can loan you.  It looks like the webinar for this one on the Circe Institute was canceled :( We also, continued to talk about symbolism and the Garden.

Rhetoric:  Great talk!  I really encouraged these guys to start really thinking upon these subjects and not just joke about them.
