Hi,
    No the only thing that I wrote was the Matthew 7:12 and Matthew 
24:13.  But I acknowledge that I need to write more.  I try to encourage 
my students to draw/signwrite what they are learning but they are have 
some difficulty as they aren't reading enough SignWriting to remember 
how to write it.  There seems to have been so many small things that 
I've need to teach them that SignWriting has had the back seat for a 
while, but I plan on changing that.
