Saving the best for last...The final photo of Handong professors after a fabulous buffet.

A nice photo of some of the AWESOME students/staff who worked so hard behind the scenes of the retreat. They did everything from set-up and video-taping to handing out translating machines and cleaning up. We teachers could learn a thing or two from these servant-hearted folks about what it REALLY means to serve.

Great photo!

Another wonderful group of colleagues at this table. We've got representatives of the Law School, Counseling and Social Welfare Department as well as the DLE on hand!

Big smile!

The table of honor! The president, chaplain's office and main speaker, all at the same table!

What a joyful looking group of men! Once again, it was a great time of fellowship at the retreat!

Kimchi!

Unfortunately, I might have waited too long to get photos of each table as some people had already left...

All smiles during our big buffet dinner at the retreat!

Kimchi Anyone?!

KIMCHI INFESTATION: Please avoid eating Kimchi at school or in restaurants. A recent study on imported cheap Chinese kimchi in Korea has shown many commercially imported Kimchi to contain worm eggs and parasites. Korea has been steadily importing the bulk of their Kimchi because of the huge cost differential. It's 50% cheaper to import than make locally. However, the Chinese have been using human excrement to fertilize their cabbages and then harvesting and preparing them for fermenting without proper washing. Despite this warning from the public health administration and the confiscating of the latest shipload of Kimchi from China, the latest news this morning states that import companies have seen a higher demand for the discounted Kimchi. It appears the restaurants don't care what they feed their customers as long as Kimchi is on the table.

Push Buttons & Automatic Machines

In today's churches of glamour and fast flowing action, we try to apply "machine-age methods" to our relationship with God. Read our chapter, have our short devotion and rush away, hoping to make up for it in a 3 day retreat every 6 months to "recharge our batteries" or read a good book ABOUT the Bible.
RESULT-Shallow lives, hollow religious philosophies that push for fun in gospel meetings, the glorification of men, salesman like methods and strategies and the mistaking of dynamic personalities for the power of The Spirit.
