Hello Christmas.
Truly He taught us to love one another;
His law is love and His gospel is peace.
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother;
And in His name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise His holy name.
Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices!
Oh night divine, Oh night when Christ was born;
Oh night divine, Oh night, Oh night...

We are:
pressed but not crushed
persecuted but not abandoned
struck down but not destroyed
blessed beyond the curse ~ for His promise will endure
His joy = our strength.

Me: So I've totally become one of those women who carries their whole life around in their bag; and I've decided that I'm OK with that.

Me: Really?
Denny: Yes, really. I will bring it next time.

Romans 6:1-2,12-14
What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We died to sin; HOW CAN WE LIVE IN IT ANY LONGER?
Therefore do not let sign reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. Do not offer the parts of your body to sin, as instruments of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer...

Tiny words of comfort
Yesterday my Kindergarten boys nearly brought me to tears in the middle of Math class. We were counting bicycles which led to a discussion about bicycles; what color bicycle do YOU have? They all told me about what kind of bicycles they have and asked me if I have a bicycle. I replied that yes, I have a bicycle, but not here at my Korean house, my bicycle is at my American house. Little Denny then...

What a waste?
Mark 14:3-9
3While he was in Bethany, reclining at the table in the home of a man known as Simon the Leper, a woman came with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, made of pure nard. She broke the jar and poured the perfume on his head.
4Some of those present were saying indignantly to one another, “Why this waste of perfume? 5It could have been sold for more than a year’s...

Today I did something courageous. You?
Somehow
I didn’t think I could move. I had finished my classes for the day and had made it back to the office. Somehow my face found its way to the cool-to-the-touch wooden finish of my desk, arms swirling around it. There had never been fake wooden finish that looked so beautiful. I considered skipping it all: dinner, the LOST premier, bed, just so that I could stay there, in the office, face and...

I read a story the other day of a woman who was skiing. She fell over while skiing but wasn’t seriously injured. After the fall she stood back up on her skis and felt physically fine except for a few aches and strange waves of nausea washing over her. She stood there, still in her skis, pinching her nose against the nausea and praying for help.
I don’t know how long I stood there...

I’ve lived in Korea now for 18 full months. I’ve learned to speak Korean (decently anyway), eat Korean, shop Korean, wear my hair Korean, live in a billa Korean, and take Korean transportation. I’ve come to a mental place where outrageous Konglish (Korean + English) doesn’t always take my breath away. I can now eavesdrop in Korean. I know the Seoul metro system like whoa. I...
