This has to be the weirdest week of US Open golf that I’ve ever watched, and I’ve watched a lot of US Open golf. It is quite possible that the finish could be on Monday or Tuesday instead of the usual Sunday finish. And people say it rains a lot in Oregon…
I start my internship with The Mentoring Project on Monday. Definitely looking forward to it.

Response to John Dyer post: since I am hearing impaired and lip-read, I am relieved when the scripture is also on power point. It allows me to keep my head up (vs. looking down at my Bible) and note visual clues as to whether the reader/speaker has stopped mid-sentence to magnify some point. I ‘hear’ with my eyes.
It has also been shown my many researchers that the more ways we experience something with multiple senses, the more likely one is to recall that information. I would think that would mean that for those who hear, it would be adding one additional sensory experience to absorb and retain the verses in their memories.
