Welcome, Skype ESL Class!

Dear Teachers and Students

I created this blog spot for our class and named it "ButterflyESL.blogspot.com" The name ButterflyESL is chosen because it is available and also meaningful. Butterflies are beautiful. They are transformed from a caterpillar to a beautiful butterfly we see flying everywhere in our garden. I picked one above just to show you how beautifully God created them.

As children, many of us learn about the wondrous process by which a caterpillar morphs into a butterfly. The story usually begins with a very hungry caterpillar hatching from an egg. The caterpillar, or what is more scientifically termed a larva, stuffs itself with leaves, growing plumper and longer through a series of molts in which it sheds its skin. One day, the caterpillar stops eating, hangs upside down from a twig or leaf and spins itself a silky cocoon or molts into a shiny chrysalis. Within its protective casing, the caterpillar radically transforms its body, eventually emerging as a butterfly or moth.

But what does that radical transformation entail? How does a caterpillar rearrange itself into a butterfly? What happens inside a chrysalis or cocoon? It reminds me of our life that can be transformed inside out when we ask the Light of Jesus to come inside us.
