"I raise this cup to your health, my friend"
This is a post week one reflection of my time here in Korea. Notice the interplay between bad and good.
Bad
1-Plane Trip
2-TV
3-No Sports on TV-I actually watched Korean ice dancing. Oh the horror!!
4-No distinct breakfast foods=Kimchi and rice at 8am
5-Raw fish and beef
6-No good coffee
7-Lack of conversations of depth in english
8-Being much larger than everyone
9-Taking shoes off before entering rooms
10-being away from family
11-preaching with translator--lack of cultural knowledge to meet psycho-spiritual need.
Good
Choi and family have been more than gracious to me. I have been lavished with Christian love, and I only hope that I one day can return the favor!!
1-Plane trip when it ends
2-Refamiliarization with music--Jackson Browne, Golden Earring, Rich Mullins, Andrew Peterson
3-Watching sports scores on internet at 9am
4-No heartburn yet
5-learning to adapt--eating soups and fruits and veggies
6-green tea
7-time for contemplation
8-desire to change outward appearance
9-warm feeling of feet on heated floors and having the biggest shoes outside door
10-realizing how cool my family really is!!
11-dependant on working together with someone else to accomplish a sermon. Usually I suffer from the "Lone Ranger" syndrome.
So, the Lord taketh away and he giveth in return. Scripture in reverse, but it still makes perfect sense.
