  • Saturday with the kids

    here are some pics from my 11-hour day with the kids (teachers and parents) from kindergarten last saturday. we went to a “farm” in tainan county, called “cow’s house”:
    doing the loco-motion – everybody’s on the train and ready to roll!
    daywalker – our guide avoided the sun at all costs.
    moving on up – snapped in transit.
    calves – the hungry kind
    we’z gots ta get some!
    note to self: cut out figure on the right…
    standoff: Jocelyn wanted to feed the pony – but she wouldn’t stand any closer.
    Meg loves candy – mom loves coloring.
    my sentiments exactly!
    Dylan made it to my desktop with this one :0)

  • 24 Nov Devotion – THE GOD OF PEACE

    I got this message from a friend on Facebook – and just had to share it with you:
    ____________________________________________________
    “Now the God of Peace be with you all.”– Rom_15:33.
    “Having made peace through the blood of His Cross.”– Col_1:20.

    WE ALL need Peace! There are sources of Peace which are common to all men. The peace of a happy home; of an increasing business and enlarging influence; of the respect and love of our fellows. As a man is conscious of these, he is inclined to say with Job, “I shall die in my nest.” We can all understand a peace like that; but there is a “peace that passeth understanding.” It is too deep for words. It is like the pillowed depths of the ocean, which are undisturbed by the passing storm. Here is a sufferer, almost always in acute pain, and needing constant attention, and yet so happy. Joy and Peace, like guardian angels, sit by that bedside; and Hope, not blindfolded, touches all the strings of the lyre, and sheds sunshine,–how do you account for it? Let the skeptic and the scoffer answer! Here is a peace that passes understanding which comes from the God of Peace.

    For the Christian soul there is a silver lining in every cloud; a blue patch in the darkest sky; a turn in the longest lane; a mountain view which shall compensate the steepest ascent. Wait on the Lord, and keep His way, and He shall exalt thee to inherit the land. The thing impossible shall be; because all things are possible to God.

    The peace of God is the peace of the Divine Nature—the very tranquility which prevails in the heart of the God of Peace. It was of this that Jesus spoke when He said, “My peace I give unto you”; for His own being was filled and blessed with it during His earthly career. “The Lord of Peace Himself give you peace always.”

    There are three things against which we must ever be on our guard lest they rob us of our peace. First, un-confessed sin; second, worry; third, the permission of an un rebuked selfish principle. The Apostle says, “Let the Peace of God rule in your hearts.” The Greek word means arbitrate. Let God’s Peace act as umpire.We shall not escape life’s discipline. We may expect to abound here, and to be abased there. But amid all, God’s Peace, like a white-winged sentinel angel, shall come down to garrison our heart with its affections, and our mind with its thoughts.

    PRAYER
    I humbly ask, O God, that Thy Peace may be the garrison of my heart and mind; that it may ever rule within me, asserting itself over the tumultuous passions that arise within. And out of this Peace may I arise to serve Thee.
    AMEN.

  • the blessings keep rolling in!

    hold on to your hats! i’m flyin’ high on some good vibrations today :0)

    first i hear that i’m one of my student’s idol – and then i get a marie antoinette: a real person- a real award!

    thank you so much to Rod (kickin tina) for this surprise :0)
    what do you do when your hero hands you an award like this?

    smile and spread the love, baby.

    here are the rules for the award:

    1. please put the logo on your blog
    2. place a link to the person from whom you received the award (kickin tina)
    3. nominate at least 7 or more blogs
    4. put the links of those blogs on your blog
    5. leave a message on their blogs to tell them.

    i browse, read, enjoy and devour quite a number of blogs on a daily basis. choosing the top 7 isn’t easy and some of my choices are 100% biased – but i’d like to tip my hat to the following stars in my blogosphere:

    1) Life and Times of a Gay Man in Idaho
    2) Feisty Female
    3) Bipolar to Bipolar
    4) Jockohomo Datapanik

  • i can be a hero, baby

    every week, i have to write in the communication books of my students at kindergarten. it’s quite a bit of work (we’re talking 4 classes here) – and it often feels like pouring water into a hole in the ground. my comments have to be translated into Chinese so the parents can understand it (which means i can’t use difficult words or elaborate grammar – who knows what that will translate to?), and i never get any feedback.

    make that past tense – i never got any feedback.

    i was surprised by the following little note:


    Loosely, I’m told this translates to:

    “Hi Willie:
    Hunter recently told me that he would like to go back to USA with Willie when he grows up. I used the chance to encourage him to study English harder for it. Willie, you are his idol. Thanks for teaching so well!”

    color me all warm an fuzzy :0)

    *note: Hunter is barely 3 years old. taken into consideration that i’m pale, tall, hairy and that i speak English – in his world, where else would I be from than the US?
