No some people might tell you that size doesn't matter but if you look over at this picture I beg to differ with you. This was taken at our school "Spring Fling Thing". The Korean woman in the picture is Ms. Moon. She is our secretary. Amazing woman, does everything for us. But I'm 6'6" tall and the History teacher Mr. Mooney (in red) is 6'4" tall, and Ms. Moon is standing on three inch heels. Busses, taxi's, subways, doorways, you name it, and I just don't fit. I will walk down a street in Seoul and hear just gasps as I pass by. I sort of let it go to my head. Sometimes I'll even pretend to hit my head on doorways as I walk under them. Just to get the reaction.
Today was a beautiful day. Blue sky finally came out and let my students get outside. I was very grateful and thanked God again and again. Monsoon season is coming to a close but everything still is very wet. My students get very wild if they can't get outside. So today was a very big blessing. Tomorrow I have a meeting in Seoul that I have to go to as the Athletic Director. Please keep me in your prayers as I will be talking with another school about the way he has his teams playing. This is a sister school that is also a Christian school and our two schools love the competition, however, it also leads to fights in all the guys games. Even in volleyball with a net separating the two teams, they love to cuss each other out under their breath in Korean and our coaches have no idea what is going on. The other school wants them to play like this. For example in the last soccer game between our two schools, a game that meant nothing as far as the standings went, saw two students get thrown out of the game for fighting. Two Christian schools. What in the world would others watching the game say. People should be able to look out there and say wow those teams are edifying Christ even in their play. The AD thinks things are okay and we are at the point where we just want to forfeit the games because we want to avoid the temptation of putting these students in a position where they might resort to fighting. Please pray the meeting goes the way that God wants it to. Thanks.
Peace out...more later
