Jahongir and Prophete enjoying the freshly fallen snow on December 17th. They were a little more than nervous driving with me as the roads were slippery, and dangerous!

"Uzbek John"-Jahongir at a rest-area on our way to Seoul. John flew to Dubai (and later to Uzbekistan) to visit family during the holidays. It was great spending time with you in Seoul, John. Take care & see you back in Handong sometime in February, God willing.

Daniel and Razak in what seems to be a photo intended as a Christmas Album cover perhaps...

...

Ho!ho!ho! It was great to be able to spend Christmas with Razak before he headed off to Afghanistan.

Daniel at YukGukRi. All the trees were gorgeously decorated at this 6-way intersection.

"Forgive Us Our Christmases"

The story has been published of a little girl caught in the pre-Christmas swirl of activity, all of which seemed to be coming to a head on Christmas Eve. Dad, loaded down with bundles, seemed to have an even greater number of worries. Mom, under the pressure of getting ready for the great occasion, had yielded to tears several times during the day. The little girl herself, trying to help, found that she was always under foot, and sometimes adult kindness to her wore thin.
Finally, near tears herself, she was hustled off to bed. There, kneeling to pray the Lord's Prayer before finally tumbling in, her mind and tongue betrayed her and she prayed,
"Forgive us our Christmases as we forgive those who Christmas against us."
Perhaps the little girl's prayer was not such a great mistake. Too often we leave out the Christ of Christmas. Too often He is crowded out of our busy lives. Remember, the best gift won't be found in a box but in a person.

The Son of God became the Son of Man to change sons of men into sons of God. The birth of Christ brought God to man; the cross of Christ brought man to God.

What a smile!

Interesting pose

Nice shot of Razak

Daniel at YukGuRi. Can you hear the music in the background? ("I'm too sexy for this tree, too sexy for this tree...")

Arman at the bus station headed for Incheon Airport. Arman will be in Pakistan for the next month visiting his family. Have a great vacation and God bless, Arman!

My officemate, Mike Stockton, with his Certificate of Honor from the President of Handong Global University. On the last Wednesday English chapel, foreign faculty who have served at Handong for more than 3 years were presented awards.

Mr. and Mrs. Kim!!! Beautiful people with true servant-hearts and that is precisely why President Kim Young Gil presented them with these certificates of honor.
