He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
Psalm 91:1

Well, keep working on those projects. You should finish your second project today.

Oh, and I fixed the pictures, so now, enjoy!

How did you do that?

Duh

Isn't this exciting!

Ok, what do I say?

See, do it this way.

Don't take my picture!

Hey, when did you take that?

What? I'm supposed to be facing my computer?
Do not envy a violent man or choose any of his ways, for the LORD detests a perverse man but takes the upright into his confidence.
Proverbs 3:31-32

Today you need to be working on finishing your three projects from yesterday. These will all be due at the end of class on Monday. This gives you one day to complete each project.

Oh, and enjoy the pictures!
