South Africa has about 454,749 teachers in total and only 3,240 are foreign. That’s roughly 0.7% 😭.

So #inanutshell less than 1 in every 100 teachers is foreign, but somehow the narrative is "foreigners have taken over our schools". The only thing dominating our education system is myths and lies not foreign educators📚🇿🇦

The Bethlehem manger wasn't random; it was prophetic.

A lot of folks don't realize that when the Bible talks about Jesus being laid in a manger, the Greek word for it is "phatne," which just means a feeding trough. In Bethlehem back then, these were often carved from stone.

What's really striking about this is the shepherds around there. They raised lambs specifically for Temple sacrifices. Right after birth, they'd check each lamb for any flaws and put the perfect ones in a manger to keep them safe from getting hurt, since only spotless lambs could be used in offerings to God.

So here comes the Lamb of God himself, placed in the exact spot where those sacrificial lambs were protected.

And who do the angels tell about his birth? Not rulers or religious leaders, but these shepherds, guys who knew all about sacrifice, blood, purity, and flawless lambs.

When the angels said, "You'll find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger" (Luke 2:12), it clicked for them right away.

This wasn't some ordinary child. He was the ultimate Lamb, the one who'd remove the world's sin. From day one, Jesus was set apart for sacrifice, not by people, but by God.

"Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world." (John 1:29)

*Jesus is the reason for the season.

Merry Christmas!

Happy 61st anniversary to my favorite scene not only in ‘The Sound of Music’ but on film!

Filming for ‘The Laendler’ dance happened from July 21–23, 1964 and it stands as the epitome of romance to me.

God has given you what you need to fulfill your destiny. If you needed different talents, different strengths, different looks, it would have happened. Quit comparing and run your race.

Setting is a big part of any film, but how do you get the right place?

You can use CGI, build a set — or find the perfect location.

So from Star Wars to The Grand Budapest Hotel, here are some real places you might recognise from fictional worlds...
