1. Homework Assignment A: ACIM Workbook Lessons 1-7
   1. First read the lesson all the way through and then practice the lesson according to its instructions
   2. If you have done the ACIM workbook before, you may add what you hear and feel to the exercises for Lessons 1-3
   3. As you do exercises 1-3, you may notice the meaning you have given to things. Just notice and continue with the exercise
   4. Tip for Lesson 4: Sometimes people have trouble remembering to do the workbook lesson when it is to be done more than twice per day. They get on with their day and forget all about the lesson. Here’s a tip: When you finish the workbook lesson 4 in the morning, make a decision about when you will do it next. After you do the lesson the second time, make a decision about when to do it again. After the third time, make a decision about when to do it for the fourth time. If you make a conscious decision about when you will do the exercise next, you are less likely to forget to do it.
2. Homework Assignment B: Read NTI Luke, Chapters 12 (pg. 151-155) and Chapters 16-17 (pg. 161-167).
   1. Do not read all at once. Read a little each day contemplatively.
   2. Explore the reading through journaling. Journal clarity, questions, confusion, resistance, willingness, etc.
   3. If there is a Bible icon before a verse reference, read those verses from the Bible before reading that interpretation from NTI
