The Apologist's Journal: Silent Lecture: Teachers

I recently had the misfortune of being stuck in the choir room at my new school for an entire day while my dad attended to teacher-related business. We were able to enjoy the company of a new friend for a substantial amount of time, a tremendous and not-so-coincidental fortune. However, once he had to leave all I had was my sister to talk to, a cheap television with funky color glitches, and a handful of movies.
Only that... and a whiteboard. As I paced around for a bit, attending to my internal devices, I suddenly came upon an inspiration. What if I wrote down what I was thinking on the white board? The method of choice through which my internal devices inform me of new inspirations and ideas and possibilities is usually by lecture; and, if I am in a more intellectual mood, I often give myself invigorating lectures while in contemplation. What if I wrote down the major points of the lecture on the board, as if I was lecturing other people as opposed to myself?
I, of course, resolved not to write too much and only write the major points, else my mind would too far outrun the speed at which I could possibly write. That, and the main points never really brought "words" to my mind as opposed to flashes of "inspiration"; such flashes require long and tedious work to translate. So I had to write in such a way that kept up with my mind's need to indulge every inspiration as it came.
The resulting experience was mentally exhilarating and terribly fun. Though no one read what I wrote but me, it was fun altogether. It gave me clarity of mind and added to me a sense of confidence and pride in my intellect since it felt like my ideas could indeed be made reality.
When I told my family, they said I should have taken a picture. "Blast!" I thought, "To think I missed such an opportunity!" Lucky me, the very next day, we would have some down time in the choir room once more. By some miracle or other, I remembered the main points in yesterday's lecture almost perfectly, allowing me simply to re-write them and take a picture then.
What better place to post such pictures than on my blog? Be warned though, the writing may be just short of legible. As such, a typed-in translation is provided for each picture.
Remember, these only provide the main points. What's great about this post is that it leaves the deciding and concluding to you. Feel free to indulge ideas that come to mind when you read each main point. However, I must ask that whatever you take away from this post is altogether good and nurturing and right. As it is written:

"Finally, my brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things."

- Paul

In other words, I don't want to be considered a "bad influence" simply because you took an idea away from this silent lecture that had a bad outcome. You have the power to make of this what you will. Do that responsibility justice.

*"Not many of you should be teachers, for you know that teachers will be judged more harshly" - Somewhere in the Bible

*teachers are judged: - for personal conduct - for souls they led to truth (good) - for souls they led astray (bad)

*TEACHERS more possible gain more possible loss more risk

*Being a good teacher: - be confident - have wisdom and knowledge worthy of confidence - be taught by good teachers - teach, don't judge - judge yourself (before God does) - teach yourself
