Okay then, I'll talk about your blog in mine, and you do the same. I got plenty of readers, but no idea who they are, since they never leave any comments. Found out that I'm listed #1 on a top Chinese portal with "hiking shoes" as keyword, and #2 with "Eiffel Tower". Amazing isn't it? Probably there is a rock star in China who also uses "ambulo ergo sum" as motto?
Even the most mundane tasks....pbriggsiamSeptember 25 2007, 05:47:39 UTC
can take up so much of one's day. It's fun to see you going through some of what Aaron and I used to deal with. You are in a more modern setting than ours, but it still sounds mostly the same.
You mentioned Chu Soek. I think I had one of my most profound experiences on that holiday - first time in Korea. The Korean traditional culture has a lot to offer and I wonder just how much of it is disappearing as Korea has modernized. I was first there in 1988. 20 years later, I wonder.
As a new seminary student at Fuller here in Pasadena, I also wonder how much of the Korean traditional culture has been pushed to the side or even wiped out, by the Korean version of Christianity. It would make for an interesting study. Hey, maybe that ought to be my thesis for a PHD!
Frank your experience over there is inspiring me and is a nice look back on a previous live(s).

There are some quite devout Christians here. They send out half as many missionaries as the US does, not bad (or way bad, depending on your view) for a country this size.
Ah yes, I remember seminary school. Although for me it was rather brief. Filling in a postcard to send to the Universal Life Church.

Did you read the Rolling Stone before you sent the postcard in? Not exactly Holy Writ, but who am I to judge?
