Interesting Discussion

We had an interesting discussion in my highest class tonight(SP-A). We've been talking about a guy who was going to get on a plane but got a feeling that he shouldn't take that flight and it ended up crashing into the side of the mountain. They had to write a response about why it was or was not luck, a sixth sense, God, a guardian angel, or his ancestors.

One girl said it couldn't be God because there were a lot of other Christians on the plane so why did He only save one. I thought it was an excellent question and it spurred immediate debate from two Christian students in the class.

Caitlin responded that he was part of God's future plan so He saved him and not the others because they were destined to die on that plane.

Ivy chipped in and gave the most amusing answer - "If he was a faithful Christian, then God would love him a lot(like me!) so God saved him."

To which Caitlin responded with, "but there was a faithful lady at my church who died."

Ivy lost her focus with that one and decided to give us a narrative about an old lady in her church. "There was a lady in my church. But one day her heart stopped. So she died."

Everyone started laughing but Ivy continued with, "Oh no....really, not laughing. Her heart stopped. Oh no."

Today was pretty good, over all. At least, after I had finished most of my classes. :P
During my break time before my last class, Jenny and Jennifer(from old SP-A) came down to my classroom and wanted to talk so we passed the hour talking about various things and I really enjoyed it. Very rarely have real conversations anymore, not in English anyway.

Back to the grindstone...

Back to work again with no foreseeable holidays in my time left here. It's hard to believe it's already been 2 weeks since I got back from Cheju. Time is flying by, which makes me happy. I'm ready to get back to America and chow down on some green beans, Barq's root beer and a bacon cheeseburger, not to mention all the people I haven't seen in a year. ;)

Nothing much exciting has been happening here. Just counting down the days and classes. Had a good weekend and was able to spend time both days with friends. I became part of the praise team at church on Sunday morning. Christine insisted it would be so much fun if I played an Israeli drum for the praise time, plus then I wouldn't be so bored during service. lol

She thought it would be a great way to "praise God with my hands." So after some prodding, and after everyone joined her side, I conceded. During the actual service, Dahea translated everything for me so the service went surprisingly fast. Plus, since she was already talking, we could commentate during the sermon. :P

After lunch and the afternoon service, I went back to Osan with Dong-sung, Young-sun and Young-ah. They had to go to Emart and I went back to my house. Christine called shortly thereafter and brought over a bunch of food that her mom cooked and we had dinner together, watched Mr. Bean on Disney Channel and went to Lotte together.

Eunbae called me while we were there and dropped by with his girlfriend, who was very nice. After we finished shopping, Christine went home and the three of us went to Haru Coffee for some smoothies and some fun conversation. But now it's Monday again and I'm counting down the days for the weekend. :P

Cheers.
