Light
Have you ever seriously considered where it really comes from? When you finally realize the true Source of Light it will cause you to actually wake up for the first time in your life.

The events of this day remains the reason this little country is divided at the 38 parallel.
At the request of Jeju Korean parents and grandparents I was asked to help their children with an English Speech about the April 3rd 1948 incident. It was recorded in 2006 and we are still reviewing the lesson to this day. This year will be the 60th year anniversary. It's good policy to not keep a record of wrongs but it is wise to learn from them so you never have to experience them again. A secret carried for 60 years by simple farmers who love their missing children and holding their last breath of life waiting to see their country reunited after the greatest pride and arrogance divided them.

Baekdu Mountain North Korea
This is the highest mountain in all of Korea. In the national anthem sung in South Korea the first line says, "Until the waters the of the shining seas at the very south end of South Korea dry up and the highest summit of Baekdu Mountain in North Korea wears down may God ever watch over and protect our land."
In my efforts to teach English in South Korea, I find it very gratifying to see students actually understand what they sing every morning in their schools. I guess only a foreigner from outside would be the one to realize that what every Korean student and teacher sings everyday is actually a prayer affirming the unity of a country with a rich and wonderful culture and heritage.
Koreans need to be grateful to God that they inhabit a country of their natural origin and not one obtained through conquest, subterfuge and
destruction . There is no reason to try and destroy the beauty a small country has. Personally, I don't care how big and powerful my land of origin may appear to be; if you can't out shine a tiny country with a pure culture it is better to join them rather than try and beat them.

Today's Note: Conscience is like a precious flower that can be cultivated and made more beautiful day by day. Conscience like a tender plant can also be broken or burned which leaves behind a barren land unable to feel the warm sunshine or gentle breezes that give life.

English Lessons
from the days when
Meaning was Conveyed Gracefully |
November 10
In Him we live, and move, and have our being.--ACTS xvii. 28.
Whither shall I go from Thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from Thy
presence?--PS. cxxxix. 7.
|
Yea! In Thy life our little lives are ended,
Into Thy depths our trembling spirits fall;
In Thee enfolded, gathered, comprehended,
As holds the sea her waves--Thou hold'st us all.
E. SCUDDER. |
Where then is _our_ God? You say, He is _everywhere:_ then show me
_anywhere_ that you have met Him. You declare Him _everlasting:_ then tell
me _any moment_ that He has been with you. You believe Him ready to succor
them that are tempted, and to lift those that are bowed down: then in what
passionate hour did you subside into His calm grace? in what sorrow lose
yourself in His "more exceeding" joy? These are the testing questions by
which we may learn whether we too have raised our altar to an "unknown God"
and pay the worship of the blind; or whether we commune with Him "in whom
we live, and move, and have our being."
