Our oldest son had a memorable experience with Glow at a fireworks display in Cincinnati, last Sunday night. There was a fellow walking around with an obscene sign, advertising his website. Dylan gave him a glow tract. He looked at the tract in his hand, scowled tremendously, then stuffed it into his mouth and ate it. I hope it was high fiber.

Lol that's not the ending I was expecting to this "memorable experience." But yeah, I guess that is pretty memorable.

He was probably higher than the fiber content. Or perhaps he merely heard the same voice as John the Revelator in 10:8-11?

My family and I usually give out tracks in a gift bag with candy and one of my CD's to my neighbors during the Christmas season. I don't think I've never used glow before. I think I'll try glow this year.

Correction. I wanted to say thatI don't think I've ever used glow before.

Religious material in English and a second language makes very good teaching material. In many countries of the world, native English teachers can find good jobs, salary, and accommodations. Many places are equally interested in American culture. Some job descriptions actually request someone who can teach English and Western culture. Minimum qualifications usually include a bachelor's degree in any field and ESL type certificate. Professional educators can sometimes find positions in international schools. These jobs pay foreign salary equivalents plus free accommodations, and minimal taxation. You may net $50,000/a year. Recent college graduates can also manage on the salary with school debt. An anthropology major, for example, with unpromising job prospects in the States, can get a nice job with health insurance, paid vacations, annual bonus, and short work weeks. Responsible teachers of Western culture are obligated to discuss the influence of Christianit y on the Western world. Bottom line is that you can be paid to live in a foreign country. What you choose to do with your free time is your own business.

Those net 50K jobs, if they actually exist, are extremely scarce. You may get an offer like that but collecting the salary is another matter. Better to think of a living wage and a way out of the ghetto, or into one, depending on your luck.

Are you doing a point/counterpoint with yourself or did I miss something?

Tony, Upon reflection, netting $50,000 a year was probably unrealistic. Lots of opportunities worldwide so I can't address all of the opportunities. Also, there are a lot of promises made to "foreign teachers" that are never kept, so a simple offer means nothing. Highly ambitious and driven individuals can make decent money and save a lot because most expenses are covered. I was informally interviewed by someone from an international school in Italy. The pay would have been significantly higher than a typical foreign teacher gig in Asia but it required professional credentials and experience. Money wise, if that's what you are after, teaching English in a foreign country is, for most people, not going to be a gold mine if your making 100K in the States. Other opportunities are unimaginable. An acquaintance of mine with a master's in applied linguistics got his first job earning about $1000/mo. In addition, he received 3 months paid vacation, an annual bonus of ~$1,000. Free housing and utilities are usually included or a housing stipend. It's not unrealistic to expe ct him to double his salary as he develops contacts. If you avoid women, and other extravagances you can bank ~3/4 of your salary You can get a good idea of what is going on, including wages, from www.daveseslcafe.com www.elic.org offers a more structured and perhaps safer approach to English teaching, if you can get along with others well and want to be part of an organization
