There was an awkward, shy, immature young man (we’ll call him Dave) who also suffered from an acute sense of pride. Oftentimes acting to cover up an innate embarrassment at his clumsiness, he would say the stupidest things. For example, once when the...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/emmasdill_________eh/334476Pessimists and optimists seldom agree, but the issue of the nature of what the public look for in their political leaders may be something that could unite both camps. Traditionally, most people have elected strong conservatives who lay claim on a moral and ethical basis for political behavior....http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/emmasdill_________eh/334096"talk" is so trivial a term to use when referring to the rappore one has with God. Let's none of us pretend we have a personal relationship with God. It is intrapersonal. It is an amalgam of interrelationships we have with all living beings. When I class a group of people together and intend to...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/emmasdill_________eh/330718Cats are extraordinary creatures! The other day Ariala mentioned in a Blog that she was intending to bed down with hers for the night. This made for some amusing conjecture, and more than a few cute asides among the many comments she received on her Blog. But I was amazed, as you might be, to...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/emmasdill_________eh/317955Did you ever get a call from an old friend out of the blue? Being a person who believes in doing unto others what you would have them do to you, I have made many such calls. Rarely have I received many. In fact memory fails me when I try to recollect even one. However there was one day over...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/emmasdill_________eh/316097Rare days are upon us. Some of us are moving into our mid-forties. As we do, we cannot help but ponder the purpose of life. This purpose is, in my opinion, getting to know the Creator of the Universe, the great omniscient loving God, who has paved the way for us to do just that by providing a...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/emmasdill_________eh/109306It's raining all over the world... what a line! Gonna be a "Showdown"... mmmmhmmm I got an ominous Flork from some network administrator from Bath, UK the other day. It simply read: WAKE UP - YOUR TIME IS RUNNING OUT! Out of the blue, I get this from a guy I don't even know! Well needless to say...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/emmasdill_________eh/106994Greetings to one and all! I feel like I've been away and come home again! It's been a while since I have had a breather. Being a teacher keeps you going steady! Now I've got a week's reading break and I'm getting some time to catch up with my recreation life! And my BLOGGING life... much has...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/emmasdill_________eh/96506Is this not just a statement of the depths to which we have sunk? Our society has to relive one of the most noble events of human history--the crucifixion of Christ. And we chose to do it in super-graphic R-rated "realism". Why? Because we are jaded. We are de-sensitized to violence. True, the...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/emmasdill_________eh/90651Where does the time go. I can't believe it's been over a month since my last entry. The month went by so quickly. After the students got back to classes, we just went into a whirlwind frenzy of activity it seemed to prepare them for writing the Provincial Examinations at the end of the month. At...
