    Families

    I've always heard people from people that I am lucky to come from a big family and it really makes me wonder how many people here are from a big or small family and would you want a big family or a small family yourself after you are married?

    Prayer Request

    I just wanted to ask for prayers for my family right now, especially my parents. I currently have 3 foster sisters in my family, and things are a bit rough right now. The oldest one, Britteny, is 17 and has been causing a lot of problems lately. I know it's something that teenagers tend to go...

    Who or what do you find amazing in Christian Music?

    I am currently working on collecting some Christian music songs for my foster sisters. These girls are not Christians, but they do go to Church with my family and I can see that God is starting to work in their lives. They've recently began listening to Christian music after seeing Casting...

    What I would give for

    What I would give for a boss that listens... Perhaps this is a dream that will never come true... Perhaps such a thing does not exist. But one can only hope... Today I got the new books for my classes and was finally able to start planning lessons. The classes started yesterday but thank...

    Turn the other Cheek

    The Sermon on the mount has often been misquoted on this forum and I think people need to look at it in context. Jesus said if a person strikes you on the right cheek turn to him the left also. The right cheek was specified. This means that the strike was from the backhand and therefore an...

    ADDs on CF

    How many people have been seeing adds all over this site. I've read a few posts now where people have commented on the adds that show up on different pages when they are looking at posts.

    Sigh... Time to vent

    Interesting Sermon

    My pastor spoke about something this Sunday that really opened my eyes. It made me think about things in a way that I never have before. He told us that many good things in our lives are sent to us by Satan. At first this statement seemed very strange to me, but as he went on to explain I...

    The wonderful world of Korea

    Today I found out that one of my students is a professional Starcraft player. Believe it or not but this is an actual job many people aspire to in this country. The ones that make it have their games broadcast on TV and even have big fan followings that come to watch them play live. inMy...

    Wow I am not sure what to do...

    I was just marking some Student essays and the topic was the current American War with Iraq. The students wrote these Essays for another teacher, and I mark them and then discuss them in my class with them. The thing is that from reading the essays I get a very clear view of what the students...

    Windows Vista

    Anyone else using Vista? It seems to have a lot of bugs... Like right now I can't read any long threads. I don't know what the page limit is, but anytime I open one of them it immediately closes my browser. Unfortunately my computer was a notebook bought in Korea and after bringing it in I...

    Insight from Children

    My students were writting about creation stories in their speech writting class, one wrote about Adam and Eve, and I felt like sharing it: This was written by one of my 10 year old students and I thought it was quite good. I was pretty amazed that this young Korean student was able to...
