Online Teaching (And No More Chinese Peanuts?)

China via email


















Online Teaching

Meeting with a major, well-known visiting Christian theologian and philosopher this last Sunday at Northview Community Church in Abbotsford, he agreed with me in the context of our previous emails, that online teaching was the best career opportunity for me at this point. He kindly suggested some departments and will assist me as he can over time. I keep researching and sending applications where viable.

My reasoning is that with my ten years of Blogging and related teaching and interaction with friends and public that teaching online courses would have many similarities to the work I am already performing for free as ministry.

As far as judging my abilities to teach and to be acceptable to students, at 15, 000 to 34, 000 pageviews a month blogging, in the difficult fields to market of Theology, Philosophy and Biblical Studies, I have done reasonably well, but realize there is still much room for progress.

I have done traditional offline teaching as well on several occasions.

Chinese Peanuts

'Monday, Dec. 01, 1924

Southern peanut planters have little economic reason to thank Archdeacon Thompson or Dr. Charles R. Mills of the American Presbyterian Mission to China. Thirty-five years ago, these gentlemen imported four quarts of U. S. peanuts. Half of them were given to two Chinese farmers as the basis of a Chinese peanut crop. One farmer ate his peanuts instead of planting them. The other, however, planted and replanted his peanuts, until now the Shantung Peninsula grows 18,000,000 bu. per annum. The Chinese peanut crop now exceeds even that...'

'One farmer ate his peanuts instead of planting them.'

Hmmm...does he have relatives locally?

What do you know, Chinese Peanuts tied to Missionary work, how convenient for the purposes of this blog.

Photo from One World Homeschool. One World Homeschool?  That term may concern some in the Christian community. Yes, the government will educate your children at home for you parents, just log in. Wait a minute, that is online teaching...how convenient for the purposes of this blog post.

  2. Only in Texas my friends...Only in Texas ....Too bad...



    A lawyer runs a stop sign and gets pulled over by a sheriff's deputy.

    He thinks that he is smarter than the deputy because he is a lawyer from New York and is

    certain that he has a better education then any cop from Houston , TX .

    He decides to prove this to himself and have some fun at the Texas deputy's expense.


    The deputy says, "License and registration, please."

    "What for?" says the lawyer.

    The deputy says, "You didn't come to a complete stop at the stop sign."

    Then the lawyer says, "I slowed down, and no one was coming."

    "You still didn't come to a complete stop," says the deputy. "License and registration, please."

    The lawyer says, "What's the difference?"

    "The difference is you have to come to complete stop, that's the law. License and registration, please!" the Deputy repeats.

    Lawyer says, "If you can show me the legal difference between slow down and stop, I'll give you my license and registration;

    and you give me the ticket. If not, you let me go and don't give me the ticket."

    "That sounds fair. Please exit your vehicle, sir," the deputy says.

    At this point, the deputy takes out his nightstick and starts beating the heck out of the lawyer and says, "Do you want me to stop, or just slow down?"



    God Bless Texas

  13. Two Mexicans are stuck in the desert after crossing into the United States , wandering aimlessly and starving.

    They are about to just lie down and wait for death, when all of a sudden Luis says:

    "Hey Pepe, do you smell what I smell. Ees bacon, I theenk."

    "Is, Luis, eet sure smell like bacon."

    With renewed hope, they struggle up the next sand dune, & there, in the distance, is a tree loaded with bacon.

    There's raw bacon, there's fried bacon, back bacon, double smoked bacon, every imaginable kind of cured pork.

    "Pepe, Pepe, we ees saved! Ees a bacon tree!"

    "Luis, maybe ees a meerage?

    We ees in the desert don't forget."

    "Pepe, since when deed you ever hear of a meerage that smell like bacon?

    Ees no meerage, ees a bacon tree!"

    With that, Luis staggers towards the tree.

    He gets to within 5 yards, Pepe crawling close behind, when suddenly a machine gun opens up, and Luis drops like a wet sock.

    Mortally wounded, he warns Pepe with his dying breath:

    "Pepe, go back man, you was right, ees not a bacon tree!"

    "Luis, Luis miamigo, what ees it?"

    "Pepe ees not a bacon tree. Ees...

    Ees....

    Ees....

    Ees....

    Ees....

    Ees....

    Ees.... a ham bush."

  29. One Sunday morning, a mother went in to wake her son and tell him it was time to get ready for church, to which he replied, I'm not going."
    "Why not?" she asked.
    I'll give you two good reasons," he said. "(1) they don't like me, and (2) I don't like them."
    His mother replied, "I'll give you two good reasons why you SHOULD go to church:
    (1) You're 59 years old, and (2) you're the pastor!"

    The Picnic
    A Jewish Rabbi and a Catholic Priest met at the town's annual 4th of July picnic. Old friends, they began their usual banter.
    "This baked ham is really delicious," the priest teased the rabbi. "You really ought to try it. I know it's against your religion, but I can't understand why such a wonderful food should be forbidden! You don't know what you're missing. You just haven't lived until you've tried Mrs. Hall's prized Virginia Baked Ham. Tell me, Rabbi, when are you going to break down and try it?"
    The rabbi looked at the priest with a big grin, and said, "At your wedding."

    The Usher
    An elderly woman walked into the local country church. The friendly usher greeted her at the door and helped her up the flight of steps.
    "Where would you like to sit?" he asked politely.
    "The front row, please," she answered.
    "You really don't want to do that," the usher said. "The pastor is really boring."
    "Do you happen to know who I am?" the woman inquired.
    "No," he said.
    "I'm the pastor's mother," she replied indignantly.
    "Do you know who I am?" he asked.
    "No," she said.
    "Good," he answered.

    Show and Tell
    A kindergarten teacher gave her class a "show and tell" assignment. Each student was instructed to bring in an object that represented their religion to share with the class.
    The first student got up in front of the class and said, "My name is Benjamin and I am Jewish, and this is a Star of David."
    The second student got up in front of the class and said, "My name is Mary. I'm a Catholic and this is a Rosary."
    The third student got in up front of the class and said, "My name is Tommy. I am Methodist, and this is a casserole."

    The Best Way To Pray
    A priest, a minister and a guru sat discussing the best positions for prayer, while a telephone repairman worked nearby.
    "Kneeling is definitely the best way to pray," the priest said.
    "No," said the minister. "I get the best results standing with my hands outstretched to Heaven."
    "You're both wrong," the guru said. "The most effective prayer position is lying down on the floor."
    The repairman could contain himself no longer. "Hey, fellas," he interrupted. "The best prayin' I ever did was when I was hangin' upside down from a telephone pole."

  30. The Twenty and the One
    A well-worn one-dollar bill and a similarly distressed twenty-dollar bill arrived at a Federal Reserve Bank to be retired.
    As they moved along the conveyor belt to be burned, they struck up a conversation.
    The twenty-dollar bill reminisced about its travels all over the country.
    "I've had a pretty good life," the twenty proclaimed. "Why I've been to Las Vegas and Atlantic City , the finest restaurants in New York , performances on Broadway, and even a cruise to the Caribbean ."
    "Wow!" said the one-dollar bill. "You've really had an exciting life!"
    "So, tell me," says the twenty, "where have you been throughout your lifetime?"
    The one-dollar bill replies, "Oh, I've been to the Methodist Church , the Baptist Church , the Lutheran Church ."
    The twenty-dollar bill interrupts, "What's a church?"

    Goat for Dinner
    The young couple invited their elderly pastor for Sunday dinner. While they were in the kitchen preparing the meal, the minister asked their son what they were having.
    "Goat," the little boy replied.
    "Goat?" replied the startled man of the cloth, "Are you sure about that?"
    "Yep," said the youngster. "I heard Dad say to Mom, 'Today is just as good as any to have the old goat for dinner.' "

  31. The following is an exchange of correspondence between a customer and the Irish Railway Company: Larnrod Eireann.

    Gentlemen, I have been riding your trains daily for the last two years, and the service on your line seems to be getting worse every day. I am tired of standing in the aisle all the time on a 14-mile trip. I think that the transportation system is worse than that enjoyed by people 2,000 years ago.
    Yours truly,
    Patrick Finnegan
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Dear Mr. Finnegan,
    We received your letter with reference to the shortcomings of our service and believe you are somewhat confused in your history. The only mode of transportation 2,000 years ago was by foot.
    Sincerely,
    Larnrod Eireann.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Gentlemen,
    I am in receipt of your letter, and I think you are the ones who are confused on your history. If you will refer to the Bible and the Book of Numbers, 22nd Chapter, you will find that Balaam rode to town on his ass. That, gentlemen, is something I have not been able to do on your train in the last two years!
    Yours truly,
    Patrick Finnegan
