When you're an introvert, havingfriends takes on a different meaning. My parents noticed early on that I had very few friends, but thefriendshipsIdidhave were solid. Now I'm a 35-year-oldmarrieddad with two girls and nothing has changed.For the last 20 years, outside of mywife, I've really only hadonegood friend. My friend and I met in 9th grade during football practice, and the rest is history. He was my roommate in college, the best man at mywedding, and even though we now live 3,700 miles apart, he still reaches out the moment he learns that something isn't going well with my life.My wife is the only other person who has been able to insert herself into my life as a friend and I now consider her to be my best friend.I don't say "I love you" to just anyone, and I sure don't make just anyone my best friend. Over the last 15 years, I've come across maybe five people I wouldconsider spending time with outside of work. So obviously, my wife has a lot of time to be my only friend and my introverted self doesn't want/need to find any other pals to help fill that void.My wife couldn't be more different. She makesfriendswith ease and has lots of 'em; her friendships are very important toher. They serve as a system in her life and the more she has, the better she feels about herself.She has friends she has met online, friends she met throughfamily, and even friends she's met on vacation. What we don't have are many couple friends and that's my fault. My inability to make friends with the spouses of her friends has caused tension and was one of the reasons she decided at one point that shewanted a break from our marriage.Up until recently, my wife didn't bother to understand how an introverted brain works.She has since read books about introverts and has asked me more about my experience, but she'll never fully graspwhyI'm an introvert. She won't ever fully understand my reluctance to let anyone into my world. She won'tever figure out why I wouldn't want a ton offriendsin my life the same way she has in her life.Likewise, I don't understand whymy wife allows just anyone into her life and opens herself up to betrayal and disappointment by having so many casualfriends. I certainly don't understand the way she classifies her friends in some sort of tier arrangement.But what I don't understand the most is why she doesn't classifymeas as her best friend.When my wife tried to explain to me that she didn't consider me to be her best friend, she drew a chart to explain how she classifies the people in her life in a tier arrangement like this:

In her words: "I will always be able to do anything I do with my friends with you, whether you enjoy it or not is a different story.However, there are things that I do with you that I would never do with any of my friends (or anyone else) no matter how close we were."Although I don't think we'll ever fully understand each other,over the course of 13 years of marriage, we've learned that fixing each other doesn't work aswell as trying to meet in the middle and work with each otherthrough whatever issues seem tocome between us.As a result, I've tried to make more of an effort to appear friendlier when we meet with othercouples, andshe tries to help facilitate those friendships in a more introvertedmanner.We've also come to realize that the more we understand our differences, the more we realize how much it benefits our marriage. For instance, because Idon't have many friends, I don't go out very often, which means I’m home ... a lot. And because I'm home a lot, I can take care of our kids while my wife spends quality time with her friends.This arrangement allows us both to spend time in our comfort zones; it makes us happy. And there's one thing that is as sure in marriage, as death and taxes are in real life:a happy wife truly makes for a happy life.

Lol, recession tales, dumb fellows.

I agree totally with your views on this issue, it's a total waste of time and human resource, graduates should be allowed to go on with their lives since the FG cannot fund the scheme properly. Given the latest development, it should totally be up to the individual to serve or not.

Genesis 1:27- "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them".

Its one of the most popular portions of the Bible, but sometimes I wonder if most Christians understand the meaning of the phrase "image of God".
It definitely doesn't mean physically features, so what exactly is the "image of God"


the meaning of the “image of God” has been debated for centuries in the church. A common view is that the image of God refers to the human abilities that separate us from the animals. However, scientists have found that abilities like communication and rationality are also present in animals on a basic level. Plus, theologians do not see the image of God as human abilities. Some theologians see the image of God as our capacity for a relationship with God. Other theologians see it as our commission to represent God’s kingdom on earth. Both of these theological positions are consistent with scientific evidence. Whether God created humanity through a miracle or through evolution, God gave us our spiritual capacities and calls us to bear his image. IntroductionThe “image of God” is a key concept in Christian theology, foundational to Christian thinking about human identity, human significance, bioethics, and other topics. Many Christians see evolution as incompatible with the image of God. How could God’s image bearers have evolved from simpler life forms? Doesn’t image-bearing require miraculous creation of humans rather than shared ancestry with chimpanzees? And when in the evolutionary process did humans attain this image? These questions are tied to many other issues concerning human origins, including the soul, the Fall, and the historicity of Adam andEve (see sidebars), but in this article we will focus specifically on the image of God.The phrase “image of God” does not appear many times in the Bible, but the importance of the concept is emphasizedby its repetition in the creation :Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in thesea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that movealong the ground.” So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. — Genesis 1:2-27,From this text, it is clear that part of bearing God’s image is ruling over the animals.Genesis 9:5-6reveals another aspect of image bearing: all human lifeblood is sacred because all humans are made in the image of God. The emphasis on Judeo-Christian thought on the sanctity of human life is derived in part from this age. In the New Testament, the idea is expanded further as Christ is revealed as the true image of the invisible God (2 Cor. 4:4,Col. 1:15).For centuries, theologians have discussed these and other ages, debating the meaning of the image of God (“imago Dei” in Latin). Being made in God’s likeness is not amatter of our physical appearance, because humans don’t all look the same. But to what does the image of God actually refer? Many ideas have been suggested over the centuries, producing a huge body of theological writing. While hard to summarize, we give a brief overview below of three common themes for the image of God. After developing this theological context, we’ll consider how these ideas intersect with evolution.Image of God as our abilitiesA common view is that the image of God refers to human abilities. When people talk of the things “that make us human,” they refer to abilities like reason and rationality, mathematics and language, laughter and emotions, caring and empathy, and cultural products like music and art. Often the motive is to distinguish humans from animals byshowing that humans have unique abilities that make us special and superior to animals. Saint Augustine (354-430 A.D.) wrote something like this when he said “Man's excellence consists in the fact that God made him to His own image by giving him an intellectual soul, which raises him above the beasts of the field.”1 Saint Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274 AD) also emphasized intellect and rationality inhis discussion of image bearing.2 But Augustine and Aquinas were not speaking of intellect as an aptitude for math or music; Aquinas instead writes of an “aptitude for understanding and loving God.” In fact, the modern emphasis on reason comes more from secular Enlightenment ideas than from Christian theology. During the Enlightenment, the image of God was connected to ideas like the natural dignity and majesty of humankind that separates us from the brute beasts of the animal world.Scientific evidence is piling up that humans have more in common with animals than was once thought. Genetic evidence shows that humans and chimpanzees share muchof their DNA. Studies of animal behavior (particularly of chimps and other apes) show that animals not only laugh and cry and care for each other, but can learn sign language and even have basic reasoning ability. In fact, Christian neuroscientist Malcolm Jeeves writes that “any attempt to set down a clear demarcation between the reasoning abilities of nonhuman primates and humans is found to have become blurred.”3 Obviously, humans have a much larger capacity to reason than animals, but reasoning is not auniquelyhuman ability. As neuroscientists and animal behaviorists learn more about animals, they see how traits appear in a rudimentary form at a level similar to human children.4Whether or not one accepts evolution, evidence fromlivinghumans and animals does not show a distinct difference in kinds of abilities (only degree).Another challenge for this picture of the image of God is the place of people with mental disabilities. If a person is impaired in reasoning or language, are they bearing less of God’s image? Are they not showing his true likeness? The Christian answer to these questions is No! The Bible repeatedly teaches that God values all people, particularly those who are rejected by society or unable to care for themselves.5In fact,Genesis 9:5-6 points to image bearingas the reason thatallhuman life is valuable. This is a majormotivator for Christians who seek to protect the unborn, the poor, and the aged. Surely bearing God’s image must mean something other than using our abilities.Image of God as our spiritual capacities and relationship with GodAnother common view is that the image of God refers to our capacity for a relationship with God. Following Aquinas’view of “aptitude for understanding and loving God,” the Catholic catechism says,Of all visible creatures only man is able to know and love his creator. … he alone is called to share, by knowledge and love, in God's own life. It was for this end that he was created, and this is the fundamental reason for his dignity. Being in the image of God, the human individual possesses the dignity of a person, who is not just something, but someone. He is capable of self-knowledge, of self-possession and of freely giving himself and entering into communion with other persons. And he is called by grace to a covenant with his Creator, to offer him a response of faith and love that no other creature can give in his stead.6John Calvin (1509-1564) and other reformers wrote of the image of God as the original righteousness of humans before the Fall. When first created, we reflected God’s “wisdom, righteousness, and goodness”8but, as Paul teaches, that image was tarnished by sin and is being restored in Christ:Since the image of God had been destroyed in us by the fall, we may judge from its restoration what it originally had been. Paul says that we are transformedinto the image of God by the gospel. And, according to him, spiritual regeneration is nothing else than the restoration of the same image. (Col. 3:10, Eph. 4:23) — John Calvin, Commentary on Genesis,Neuroscientists have also attempted to investigate this model, looking for evidence of such things as selfless behavior or the ability to perceive the transcendent. But science is simply not capable of fully testing such spiritual realities; the evidence that scientists do find is open to many interpretations.
