Week 25 (S2W10)
“For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.”
We had a very productive day here today, including the National Latin Exam (I do not know when results are published, but will keep everyone posted!). We also completed a dry run of the year’s Latin vocab (I would strongly encourage diligent study of the list, from Lesson 15 backward. Vocab Key is here, blank Blue Book version here.). Claudia has hers in page protectors, that she has been using to copy the definitions for review.
In our anatomy study, we reflected on the brain’s capacity for memory; our brains store information differently based on the channel it is received (auditory, visual, etc.). Images imprinted on our brains cannot be erased! We discussed how significant it is that we can never “un-see” something we have seen, and the weight of choosing what we watch/click/scroll. (“Do I want this image stored in my brain permanently?”). God is endowed with the ability to selectively forget (thankfully), but it is a function he did not design into our earthly brains. Our scriptures focused on what God emphasizes we should use our brains to remember ~ what He has done, who He is, His word, what Jesus said/taught us to do, and the remembering that is centered on communion. It was a good discussion!
Only 5 weeks remain, 4 weeks of class and Blue Book! Let’s encourage our students to continue working hard for a strong finish!

Anatomy Scriptures: Neurons/Remembering
John 14:26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.
I Corinthians 2:16 “For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ.
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
Isaiah 46:9 Remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me.
Psalm 49:3-4 My mouth shall speak wisdom; the meditation of my heart shall be understanding. I will incline my ear to a proverb; I will solve my riddle to the music of the lyre.
Psalm 119:16 I will delight in your statutes; I will not forget your word.
Psalm 77:11 I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember your wonders of old.
I Corinthians 11:24-25 And when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.”
Acts 20:35 In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
