Midterms inDEED.

Hey all!

We just got done with our week of midterms, which is why most of us have been hiding in our rooms studying. Nathan and I worked out a schedule for where we're going this summer and when we'll be there, so stay posted and I'll put that up here as soon as I can.

God's peace be with you!

Augmented Fourth Quartet

Welcome to the Augmented Fourth blog!

We are Allen Zarcone, Thomas Cox, Nathaniel Pullmann, and Keaton Christiansen, soon to be graduates of Hillsdale College. We started singing together in our sophomore year of college, and have been singing ever since. We thought it would be fun to take a road trip and visit all our friends in the summer after graduation. Then the idea moved beyond just a lark for us-- we could sing for all of our friends and their communities while we were there.

We have a concert of sacred music prepared, and would perform that set of music to glorify God along the way. We would sing for churches where our friends lived, and at arts festivals or where ever we could find an opportunity. As we considered the idea, we realized that it just might work (the Lord willing and gas prices don't rise). I'll add more about this topic later. For now, I have to finish my midterms (!!!).

I intend this place to be somewhere where we will post updates about our trip: pictures, laudatory comments about hospitable communities, musings from four liberally educated college grads, and, of course quotes from Tom. Always those.

Today's Tom Quote: "How is that nerdy? Knowing the historiography of the ancient world? That's not nerdy at all!"

Under the Mercy,
