I love My Fair Lady. I've loved it since I was little. At the age of six, I can distinctly remember watching the movie on a small, static-filled, rabbit-eared tv in our living room, twirling around like Audrey Hepburn and putting marbles in my mouth. Fortunately, I never swallowed one, but that's beside the point. Towards the end of the movie when Henry Higgens finally realizes that beauty is really in the eyes of the beholder and, like in all good moives, he loves her implicitly. And, like in all good musicals, the orchestra begins to drift the now familiar cords of "I Could Have Danced All Night," and Higgens begins to sing. The words go like this:

Now, I of course, can never take this at face value and move on. No, I, in a twisted and probably far out there way, compared it to my walk with Christ. Now, before you run from the room shaking your head, hear me out. Are we accustomed to the face of Christ? Are His actions second nature to us? Does He make our day begin, or is it something else? Now that spring is in the air, I again stand amazed at our wonderful Savior. He has done so much for me and yet I know Him so very little. At times, it feels as though the more I learn the less I know. But I'm going to keep learning, keep striving, keep challenging myself until Christ becomes what I breath out and what I breathe in. He's the only one whose worth it.

BEIJING (Reuters) - A Chinese headmaster, who tried to buy off colleagues by cooking dog meat for them after secretly selling off trees around the school, ended up setting fire to classrooms when the meal burst into flames, a Chinese newspaper said Friday. Ten classrooms containing televisions, computers, printers and textbooks burned down, leaving nearly 100 children unable to go to school, the Beijing Youth Daily said.The headmaster, in the northeastern province of Heilongjiang, sold off a 1,000-tree arboretum surrounding the school on the sly, the newspaper said."In order to get the teachers not to tell anyone what he had done, on the afternoon of May 16, headmaster Meng got friends to obtain two dogs, which they proceeded to kill on the school grounds," the report said."He then told the teachers they would have dog meat to eat that afternoon," it added.But the plan went awry when the dog being cooked burst into flames and set fire to the school's main office and then the classrooms.The local education bureau fined the headmaster 10,000 yuan ($1,252) and suggested he be fired, the newspaper said.
