So now two weeks of the Christmas holiday school break is gone….yawn.
My normal sleeping pattern is to go to bed around 11pm (i know, it should be more around 9:30), sleep until around 3am, then lie awake for 1 – 2 hours thinking about everything this little brain can wrap itself around, then go back to sleep when it starts getting light outside, then waking up for good around 7:40am. I’ve often thot that this is a bit “abnormal”, and that was reconfirmed to me this week by friends 🙂
Anyway, last nite the same thing happened, except, instead of 1 -2 hours, it was more like 3 hours of lying awake…. One reason is that it is cold in Bangkok now, probably around 18C (65F) at nite, so i have to turn off my fan which normally drowns out the 6-lane traffic outside. Also, last nite i was thinking and praying about the possibility of opening some kind of new school in the northern part of Thailand, a school based 100% on the Bible and on the inspired counsel in the Spirit of Prophecy (books by Ellen White), and also thinking about what to call people, and how the Thai 1858 Great Controversy translation is progressing, and what i should be doing in life, especially after my teaching job finishes in May or June (or perhaps earlier if the school is sold).
Anybody, if you have good advice on how to start a little self-supporting school along the lines of Madison, Avondale, Battle Creek etc., please help us out. This is a very big project in my estimation, altho in the overall world view, i know it is not so large. But to start a school following God’s principles in EVERY line, i really believe could have a huge impact not only on Thailand, but on the whole world 🙂
“Madison, God’s Beautiful Farm” and “Nashville Agricultural and Reform Institute” are two books i really want to get a hold of, and i will also be reading diligently “Proper Education” in Testimonies For the Church volume 22.
Saw this web site this morning explaining how the Jews are persecuted. It is so true, and so ignored/falsified by most of the world’s media. http://www.terrorismawareness.org/what-really-happened/
