Missing Questions

Sorry that I haven't had the study or discussion questions up this week, I realized a couple of days after the last one that I hadn't added any and then just never found the time to get them on here the rest of the week.  Looking at my page views before and after the last set of questions I am assuming that no one was really looking at them anyway. If however, you were and would like me to continue to post them I will...just comment on this blog and I will have up them ASAP...
