I've been practicing karate for 3 1/2 years now. Next I want to start Ju-Jitsu. A friend teaches it about 40 min from my place. Hopefully I'll have time between teaching 2 classes myself.

My instructor spoke with me last night and want me to take over teaching class. He's going to split the profits with me at first and in about a year or so he is going to turn the dojo over to me. I've always wanted to teach. I love teaching the kids. I get allot of enjoyment see how proud they are when they learn a new kata and show it to their parents. The adult are fun as well. They learn faster and seem to appreciate it more.
Here's a pic of my instructor (left) and myself

I practice Shotokan Karate with the Ko Sutemi Seiei Kan Organization. We are a very family oriented organization.

It was a total surprise. I wasn't supposed to be promoted for another 4 months but my sensie thought I was ready. As we all lined up at the beginning of the belt test I was in front with the other brown belts. There must of been at least 30 other students of varying rank behind me. Then the Grandmaster stepped up and said that he had someone to bring up to blackbelt. I thought it was my friend Rick from another dojo that has been doing cage fighting as well as karate. He's a better fighter than me although he'll never admit it. Next thing I know the Grandmaster calls my name. I looked at my sensie and he was smiling from ear to ear. I step up and was shaking as he quietly explained what it meant to be a Blackbelt in our organization and how I will now be looked up to by my students and the community. Then he had me take off my brownbelt and he tied my blackbelt on me. After that everyone started calling me Sensie Taylor. Which still sounds strange. I think my sensie will have me take over the beginners class while he still teaches the advanced class which I will attend. You are never done learning.
If anyone out there is considering taking a martial art please give it a try. It's been one of the best things I've ever done for myself.

I also hated the fact that you could clap when someone gave their first talk in the ministry school, but never after that. That was so stupid!!!!
I remember that. I always thought that was stupid as well.
I always hated the the term "unapproved associate". They used it to disfellowship unbaptised kids.
I never could believe that the entire book of Revelation was written about some obscure sect of Christianity that wouldn't exist for almost 2000 years.

I feel so sorry for my nephews and nieces. They are going to be stuck barely making it through life with nothing to look forward to.
My brothers and sister that are still JW's can barely make ends meet. It's just sad that a billion dollar non-profit organization makes them live this way.

I have a wierd take on praying, what about you?...
by Hecklerboy ineverytime i talk to someone about praying they say that they pray all the time.

All this talk about thanking and praising brings up another thought.
Why does the most powerful being in the universe need an insignificant creature like humans praising him? Why does he even care? Seems a litte egotistical to me. I mean if you are interested is space and time then you realize just how small and insignificant we really are. I just can't imagine our praise does anything for God.
Just for the record: I'm on the fence as to weather there really is a God or not. But sometimes I breakdown a pray when things get real bad. Like when my marriage was going down the tubes. Guess he didn't answer that one for me. Strike one up for there being no God.

Everytime I talk to someone about praying they say that they pray all the time. Talk to God whenever they can. Well I'm just the opposite. I only pray when it's something really big that I can't handle on my own. I don't see the point of bothering God with the boring details of my life. My way of thinking is this: God put us on this earth, gave us intelligence and freewill. He taught us what we are supposed to do and sent us on our way. I think we should be able to make decision on our own and deal with the consequences of those decison without asking for his help constantly. If you had a child that you raised and they moved out would you want them calling you constantly asking for help with every little decision. Sure you would would help them if they were in trouble and needed you. But wouldn't get annoying if they constantly called and ask for help. Wouldn't it make you wonder if you did a good job raising them?
I also think that it kind of cheapins the value of prayer. I just doesn't seem as important if you do it all the time. This is the most powerful being in the universe we are talking to. I hate to bother him/her/it if I don't have to.
So what your take on praying? All the time or just when you need serious help?
