Church Stuffs

I want to do whatever I can to help them regain their self-confidence in society. I've always believe that this group of people should be treated fairly like a normal person.

But I know that there is always a line I should be wary of. And I always remember that while I get friendly with them.

I do not hold anything against them. They have to go through reformation for the foolish things they have done to themselves in the past. But I do not want to be misunderstood either - especially as a rare member of the opposite gender - thats why I join them for after-service lunches, or when I hang out or talk to them, who are mostly male.

I guess I will leave the more friendly stuffs to them to my brothers in Christ.

I think when I mentioned that I felt that I was called out of the PC, it wasn't a hunch. Things are become clearer to me now, after I went into the classes a couple of times to teach and also to observe. I saw, I heard, I sensed.

Some things have to change, and God has spoken to me.

I think a sit down and listen video sermon is a great way to learn God's word. With adults, that is.

So when I saw (can I say "to my horror"?) that the kids that I will be teaching next month singing and learning their bible lessons from a video CD, I was stunned. Prayers and application questions are also taught off a CD.

Let's not care about the praises the other teachers gave to the materials. My class will not hear the Bible from a taped video. Nor will they pray with a video.

I am a teacher, not someone who is there to press the PLAY button and let the machine do the work.

'Well, get ready for this Joyce. If you choose that route,
think about all the free time you will lose.'

Yeeeaaaa God... That's why I need you to see me through. Let's begin with August first. As for the rest of the days, I ask of your portion of patience, discipline, and perseverance.

Amen!
