Challenge of Summer

For some reason, Summer often seems to be a challenge in many areas of life. In churches, we often have what is called the Summer Slump! (Although, one time, I did see our attendance actually grow during the summer.)

You have projects you think you will get to. You have family get-togethers. You have holidays and vactations, and I see that all of us will have at least a week at church camp. It will be a challenge during those weeks, but we do need to make it through somehow. A couple of those weeks may be where you will have to log on at least 5 times because that is a requirement. It is preferable to log on during 5 different days spread throughout the week because if we don't, it cuts down on the learning that should come through the discussion. Anyway, if needed, for a week or two, you may find yourself needing to do your online work in two or three days. Again, you will need to log on for a session. Then get out, and if needed, open up the blog again right away. That would cause you to be logged on twice in the same day. Then you may need to get out, and open up the blog again, in order to meet the log on requirements. This is not encouraged, but it may become necessary during some of those weeks. Also, you may find a week where you do not cover all of your intended chapters. You will not be penalized for that if you do make 9 quality posts that week. That is why when we start a new week, you can divide the number of chapters we have left by the number of weeks left. Then you will be able to catch up if you had a week where you got behind.

Summer is a challenge, but let's meet it head on!
