A Little Frustration
I always say that I enjoy teaching. Yes, it is true in general, but not for today.
I planned to go through random variable and probability distributions in the lecture this morning. The class started as usual, but it was so hard to move forward. Everytime when I asked them a question, I rarely got any response. Then I thought they didn't understand the question. So I explained it again to make sure that they understood, and worked with them together step by step. Very slow. After I finished the binomial distribution, it was already 40 minutes passed. I thought I would finish the lecture with Poisson distribution, but I was behind. Anyway, I didn't rush into Poisson distribution. Instead, I gave them another example of binomial distribution. (A very good choice!)
I was very frustrated after the lecture: 1. behind the schedule; 2. lack of response from students; and 3. my own attitude (tried to cheer students and myself up, but it was not a success).
What should I do? Ignore the students, just deliver the lecture anyway? I doubt ...
Through lectures I want to make sure that students get the main idea and the big picture of the subject. For the details, if they do not get them in class, they can work out by themselves, with the help from textbook and etc (this is also an important part of their learning process). When I ask them questions, I just want to get feedback and check if they get the big picture or not. When there is a lack of response, I dont know where they are. (I cound not tell from their faces this mroning. BLANK!) Maybe I need more preparation. Think about the challenges students may encounter ...
(I tell myself it is OK not to be perfect.)

用得了安慰的心操練我們的靈認識基督是神的奧祕
歌羅西二2：要叫他們的心得安慰，在愛裡結合一起，以致豐豐富富的在悟性上有充分的確信，能以完全認識神的奧祕，就是基督。
我們要認識基督，就不只要操練我們的靈，也要叫我們的心得安慰。這意思是說，我們的心要受顧惜、得溫暖。再者，我們的心思必須清明自守，我們的情感必須受規律，我們的意志也要降服。我們裡面的每一部分都必須正確且正常的盡功用。這就是保羅題到完全認識基督是神的奧祕時，說到心要得安慰的原因。

A lovely day
When I have lunch in the kitchen, it is just so lovely. Plenty sunshine with hot noodle soup, a great combination.
I am going to visit Birmingham this afternoon. A sister just called to inform me that there would be a meeting at the new meeting hall tonight. Looking forward to meeting the saints there.
