Gift of God. Because all things come under Jesus who rules at the right hand of God. Nothing is accidental, and all will be made right.

uhm . . .
Two of my students here are older than I am--not uncommon in state schools--and when one of them thanked me today for meeting with him about the paper that's due next week, I kind of choked. He said, "Thank you, Dr."
LOL!! Makes you feel strange right? I know the feeling!!
Just like when some of my senior citizens church members call me "Uncle Paul" and even some single adults who I believe are actually older than me insist on calling me "Uncle Paul" :-)
Dr. Ang, you should get used to it...or maybe not. In academic institutions, it is not uncommon to be addressed Dr. In industry, ppl tend to call you by name...what annoys me is when they think it's fun or funny to put a twang to my name, or they think we are on nickname basis!
