It seems the times for blogging are getting farther and farther apart! I have never really liked to write, but it is a needful thing. However, after teaching and learning all day, sitting down and writing is the last thing that I want to do! I learned in one of my college classes that even professional writers do all kinds of things to avoid the actual sitting down and writing. So I guess I'm in good company.
This year the government has said that the kids have to to go to school on Saturdays basically to play. Now our teachers and students don't have to since there are only two that are not attending the university on Saturdays. They can play on Fridays. And the kids leave during the week at 1:00, but teachers have to stay until 2:00. So our administrator is going to ask the district if we can leave at 1:00 also since there is nothing for us to do after the kids leave. I pray so since I get home maybe 30 minutes before my first student comes to my house for English on Tuesdays and Thursdays. And on Mondays and Wednesdays we have English from 4:00 to 6:00 and then church at 6:30. And now some good news. We get to leave at 1:30!!! So much better. What a difference thirty minutes makes. Thank you Lord.
I surely did get an education yesterday when reading in Jeremiah. Jeremiah told King Jehoakim about his death. So I went on line to see about this horrible king. The Jewish encyclopedia gave quite an account of this wicked king. And then I learned a new word-epispasm. That gave me understanding of what Paul said in I Cor.7:18-19. I'd never heard of such a thing. It seems that the Jewish men wanted the prasie of men more than God's praise. I thought what do God's people do today to be accepted by the world, but rejected by the Lord. We walk a very straight and narrow road. If you don't know what this is and you want to know, then you need to look it up and read for yourselves.
Classes at school are going well. One of my students that comes to the house came by yesterday to ask for the correct pronunciation of the words mother and brother. She had had a test in her English class at school and her teacher had marked her pronunciation wrong when in fact it was correct. She was happier knowing that she had pronounced it correctly. I still believe that languages should be taught by native speakers. Oh well.
Until later, be blessed.
