Word Processing Shortcut

When typing a document in Microsoft Word have you ever needed to change:

this is sample text typed in the wrong case

to

THIS IS SAMPLE TEXT TYPED IN THE WRONG CASE

or

This Is Sample Text Typed In The Wrong Case

??

Sure, you can just retype it...but it's usually much faster to simply highlight the text and then hit the "Shift" + "F3" keys at the same time. Each time you press this combination, Word will cycle the text to a different one of the three font case combinations shown above.

A Couple of Quotes

.
Here are two quotes from Dan Glick, professor & chair of the Missions Department here at GBS:

"If we think there is any good outside of God's will, we are vulnerable to missing His will."


"I don't want to go through this thing called life, without the Creator of life along with me."

Thanksgiving in Amish Country

Starting last Wednesday evening I had the privilege of spending a few days over the US Thanksgiving holiday with the Glicks in northern Ohio's Amish Country. We shared great food, conversation...and boxes, since I was also helping them move down to northern Kentucky.

On the way there (and back) we stopped at Tim Hortons (external link to timhortons.com). A taste from home, eh?

I had a great few days...and Monday is also a holiday at the college!

US Thanksgiving Greetings

Last week simply seemed to sizzle by; and it's hard to believe there are only a couple of weeks of this semester remaining!

I'm planning to leave for northern Ohio with the Glicks this afternoon for Thanksgiving Break. So, to my US friends:

Happy Thanksgiving!

Schnittke, Mozart, & Rachmaninoff

This evening a large group of students from GBS went on a school-organized trip to see the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra (extenal link to cincinnatisymphony.org). The concert was also preceded by a complementary dinner buffet. This was all a new experience for me, and we had a great evening.
