It is not so much the greatness of our troubles, as the littleness of our spirit, which makes us complain. (J. Taylor)

Last Class in the computer lab with EF1...Chang-Woon insisted on taking this photo with his camera and emailed it to me later. (Can you figure out who he is...he's absent in this photo but is in the one below...)

Don't ask...they requested this pose. When I asked what it meant, one of the students said "thinker" "thinker" and so I guess it's supposed to look intelligent like that famous thinking man pose....? I think we need to keep practicing...

The Doctrine of God - Definition of God

"God is Spirit: and they that worship him must worship Him in spirit and in truth." (John 4:24)

John gives three descriptions of God. He is Spirit (John 4:24), love (1 John 4:8), and light (1 John 1:5). God is a spiritual being who is invisible and without a body; He is a divine person who reveals Himself in perfect intellect, emotion, and will; He is the source and personification of all material and spiritual life; He is self-existent; He is eternal in relationship to time; He is unlimited in relationship to the immensity of space; He is immutable in His nature; He is the unity of all existence; and He is consistent in His being-that is, He corresponds in actual fact to His nature and attributes as they are revealed to us.

Keeping Christmas

Are you willing to forget what you have done for other people, and to remember what other people have done for you; to ignore what the world owes you, and to think what you owe the world; to put your rights in the background, and your duties in the middle distance, and your chances to do a little more than your duty in the foreground; to see your fellow men are just as real as you are, and try to look behind their faces to their hearts, hungry for joy; to own that probably the only good reason for your existence is not what you are going to get out of life, but what you are going to give to life; to close your book of complaints against the management of the universe, and look around you for a place where you can sow a few seeds of happiness-are you willing to do these things even for a day? Then you can keep Christmas.
Are you willing to believe that love is the strongest thing in the world-stronger than hate, stronger than evil, stronger than death-and that the blessed life which began in Bethlehem nineteen hundred years ago is the image and brightness of the Eternal Love? Then you can keep Christmas.
And if you keep it for a day, why not always?
But you cannot keep it alone.
-Henry Van Dyke
