You know I have rarely just gone and tried to figure things out by putting them to words, but in my world here in Korea, I am getting more and more confused. Don't worry, I'll be brief and I'll use no names to protect the guilty. I want you to see a few things that I am very curious as to "WHAT IS GOING ON" but I also will finish this by using a bible verse that is perfect for this frustration... This is an e-mail that I recieved within the last month or so...
I'll only put in the relevant parts :
"I know that this might be the wrong time to tell you this but you have been in my dreams the last few weeks or so, and it is becoming more and more clear as to what God has intended for me. I hope to talk to you soon. Still loving you from the bottom of my heart...xoxoxoxoxo:)"
(from a woman I haven't writen to or talked to in several years, this one is unmarried and has one child as far as I know)
Next e-mail:
"Do you ever go back and think about what might have happened if I hadn't gone off and gotten married and had two kids. I have to admit that sometimes those thoughts go through my head, do they go through yours?"
(from yet another women that I have not writen to nor made contact with in several years, this one is married and has two children a far as I know.)
Okay, again my e-mail and computer are freaking out...and so before I throw it as far as I can, I think I better close this out with the bible verse that I cling to. Now before I put this on here I want people to know that I kind of like what Mark Lowrey said in one of his concerts concerning marriage...he said: "Well I figure that I'll get married when I turn 33, because that's when the Lord laid down his life." I thought that was pretty funny, and the fact that I turn 33 next year is sort of freaky. Anyway I'll close this out with the verse. See even the bible tells us that we aren't supose to understand women. Take care people and I'll post more soon.
Proverbs 30:18-19
There are three things that are too amazing for me, four that I do not understand: the way of an eagle in the sky, the way of a snake on a rock, the way of a ship on the high seas, and the way of a man with a maiden.
Peace out...Later on.

Insert cute title ...here...
Okay well I know that some people read this since I have come and gone several times and see that the counter keeps going up. So I must either have one really eager reader or just a stadium full of people anxiously awaiting the next blurb to come out of my mouth.
It has been an interesting year so far to say the least. I have had my ups and downs. The latest down was that on Saturday, Sept. 29th my sister got married. Now you might be saying to yourself, "How could that be a bad thing...?" Well for her it was a great thing. I met Jason, and he seems like a pretty stand up guy and I got to talk to him briefly over the summer. I found out a little something funny about the man. My sister had bought him a ticket to go sky diving. Now that sounds fun and I don't think I would try it but none-the-less, he went. I'm not sure where I was, maybe not there in Kansas City yet, but my parents got to see the video of him doing this. Now the man jumped out of a perfectly good airplane from like what??? 10,000 feet? But yet I got to go up on the roof of their new house and clean the gutters, because my dad freaks out at heights, and Jason I guess can only handle heights if he is falling from them. Go figure. But back to my point...don't worry I remember...I didn't get to attend. My family was there, my grand father and his brother. I really wanted to be there, but God had me doing other things in South Korea.
By the way, right now the North is trying to figure out if it is a good idea to test a nuclear bomb underground. Now, I'm not sure but isn't that just a little on the moronic side of things. Anyway, for those that are reading this, there is nothing to worry about. We live about three blocks from OSAN Air Force base, and so far there is no news and no sirens going off. I'll let you know if anything changes.
We had our spiritual emphasis last week here at school and it was awesome all the way around. We had some strong men come in and give it their all to prove that they were stronger then me...not really but these guys were built. One, whose name is Paul, was actually on "American Gladiators" he played the part of "Thor". I watched the show and sort of remembered him. The other guy was a member of the group "Genesis Strong Men". below I'll post a few pictures from the amazing feats of strenght that they showed. Now that was impressive and all, but we had 11 students in grades 7-12 make a decision to follow Christ, several more make re-commitments, and a large group that are wanting to be baptised. That is what being strong is all about, being able to choose to walk by faith and follow our faithful leader, even though the rest of the world is teeling us that we are stupid. Okay check out the photos.
This is a picture of Paul "Thor" trying to bend a iron bar three times in a circle...he does do it by the way, I have the bent bar in my office.
This is Mike just getting finished breaking through five slabs of ice...The man is a stud I promise you. He is such a fighter and a warrior for Christ. When he told his testimony, it really broke me.
This is Mike squeezing a soda can and making it explode all over the students...the elementary students LOVED this one.
This is the last one for now. I have others that I will show you but before I go crazy. (the computer is having fun with me tonight and not doing what I ask of it) This is Mike breaking through 13 slabs of tile. The number 13 is supose to represent Chaos, since 12 is perfection. Mike actually after doing this feat, had a nice trail burn about 4 inches wide all the way up his forearm to his elbow. These guys gave it their all, and the students really loved them for it.
Okay I better sign off for now but I hope this gives you guys a little more into what we are up to over here on my side of the world. Take care, I love you all and I'll hopefully see you guys soon.
Later on...Peace out.
