Pretty memorable, huh?BethsMomToohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09661542831522987087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32008887.post-1440591134013851772007-05-01T08:58:00.000-04:002007-05-01T08:58:00.000-04:00I don't think it would be possible to post Analyti...I don't think it would be possible to post Analytical Charts. This format doesn't let you indent! I have been emailing attachments after each class, though. Are you still getting those?<BR/><BR/>I could post some "nuggets" here as we go through 2 Peter. That's a good idea. [OR "That's I-good-dea" as Tim used to say when he was little...awwww.... ;) He can't WAIT until the grandsons start saying cute things and supplant my memories of HIS cute sayings! It's tough being the youngest...]<BR/><BR/>Of course, the disadvantage of not being IN the class is that you won't get to see my brilliant imitation of how a Greek chorus functioned. It's pretty funny! ;)BethsMomToohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09661542831522987087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32008887.post-33899693481183764732007-05-01T07:15:00.000-04:002007-05-01T07:15:00.000-04:00I have a great idea.
