Monday, March 9. 2009OpenOffice Impress’s Presenter Screen
I recently discovered a plugin that makes OpenOffice’s Impress, a whole lot easier to use. It allows the audience to see the presentation, but the presenter sees the current slide, a preview of the next slide, the notes corresponding to the current slide and a timer. It is really nice to see a preview of the next slide (or of any slide) and to see your notes without showing them to the audience. Brilliant!

Friday, March 6. 2009Prayer Request and Bible Program
I would really appreciate your prayer as I try to determine what God wants me to do in the future. In addition to teaching English, I also do freelance work to supplement my income. I just completed work with a client and I’m trying to decide what to do next. Should I seek out another project or go back to school? I’ve been wanting to get a master’s degree as I feel the education would be helpful with future ministry. I’m also thinking that it would be good to complete a significant portion of schooling before I get married. However, I’m not crazy about suspending / scaling back my freelancing work and spending a lot of money in education right before marriage.
The second area that I need direction in is what to do after my time serving in T.I.P. I’m planning on coming back next year but probably not for a third year. I want to say in the ministry and I think I want to stay in a Mandarin-speaking country. Please pray that God would direct me to a ministry and that I would know which one He wants to serve in.
Thanks so much for your prayers!
On an unrelated note, I found a Java-based Bible software that I can run on my phone. So now, I can have the Bible wherever I go!

I saw this pin today and I agree with it completely. Sarcasm is definite a survival skill here in China.

Monday, March 2. 2009The Auspicious Hotel
Today we had some important big-wigs over for a meeting. They were from an IT organization that is interested in sending students to attend TIP/IT. Since I was the teacher for the only TIP/IT class that we’ve had so far, I got to attend the meeting. As most people know, I very much dislike meetings and as far as meetings go, this one wasn’t too painful. However, after the meeting we went to lunch!!!! Dr. Yu took them to the Auspicious Hotel, the best restaurant in ChangPing. The food the the decor were amazing!!! Supposedly, it runs about 100 to 200 yuan per person. Here are some photos I took in the restaurant
