Examinations & Ruminations

This week is exam week which means that Wednesday (today), Thursday and Friday I have no classes. The only bad thing is that I still have to come in and keep my chair warm for a few hours. At least I get to leave at 1230 instead of having to stay the whole day.
I'm really glad for this time off because sometimes teaching my students can be really frustrating.

Anyway, this evening I'm meeting with the pastor of my church (who is actually younger than me, not that that's bad - just giving you perspective). And Friday, the teachers at my school are going hiking in the hills somewhere so I'll make sure to post some more pics either on Flickr or Picasa. Check back for links.

Other than that, Shannon and I have really been enjoying our time here in Korea, if only for the time we've had to grow closer together through God's word. We're finding more time to do devotionals together and spend some quality time not only with each other but with valuable church friends outside our marriage who can strengthen us and give us honest advice. I think our time in Korea can be compared to the experience that a caterpillar has in its cocoon. I feel like God is using this time to prepare us and bring us closer so when we leave, our marriage and our faith will be stronger and more durable. I hope you understand what I mean.

Well, whoever you are, whether you're friends, family or strangers - know that we're praying for you and that God loves you. May the peace that transcends all understanding, guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. (Phil. 4:7)
