Peter, Joanna & Carrie. Carrie, even though she is SUPER busy with law school, offered to drive the Famas out to the airport early this morning! (What a sweetheart!) Little did she know the Famas would give her their car as a gift just before leaving!!! Wow! Merry Christmas indeed!!!

One of the last moments for Peter and Joanna in "the land of the morning calm". We sure will miss them! (Nice airport Christmas tree in the background, don't you think?! :-))

Last minute coffee, snacks and conversation before the Fama's fly on to greener pastures. Bonus point to whoever can guess the colorful snacks in the center of the table...

Birthday "Revenge"

Last week, 3 of us (Mark, Abraham and I) knocked on Joanne's door at 5 minutes to midnight with a cake to wish her a Happy Birthday. I just had to do it as it is exactly what she did to me on September 1st, ha!ha! Thanks for having us over, Joanne. You're a great sport!

NaRa and SeongHee came over for a final farewell before SeungHee (my TA this semester) left for graduate school in Yonsei University in Seoul. NaRa, SeungHee's cell leader, graduated from Yonsei and is currently studying at the Handong Law School. SeungHee is now going there...funny that! Seung Hee has been a REAL blessing this semester. GOD BLESS and thanks for everything!!!! (stay in touch!)

The Doctrine of God - Anthropomorphisms

"Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me." (Genesis 4:14)

Occasionally the Scriptures use expressions that seem to attribute human, physical features to God (such as fingers, hands, arms, and face). Theologians refer to these as "anthropomorphisms".
Illustration: Because God is Spirit and not a body (John 4:24), we know these expressions do not describe Him physically but are used to help man understand truths concerning God.
Application: Paul used a similar tpe of expression when he urged Christians to "run with patience the race that is set before us" (Heb. 12:1). He did not mean Christians should devote time to jogging as they would to prayer and Bible study. He used this figure of speech to emphasize the truth of continuing to live the Christian life.
