Thoughts on Easter

19 03 2008

In only a handful of days the Easter event will be upon us. Easter is the centerpiece of the Christian faith. Interestingly enough, when Paul wrote to what was possibly the most jacked-up church in all of history (the Corinthian church), he said that the cross of Christ was of first importance. That in the death of Christ we have a Savior who died for our sins.

Why is this of first importance…?

Easter Coming

17 03 2008

In God’s providence, we are completing our Everyday Spirituality series this weekend with a final sermon on the discipline of celebration. As most of you know this coming weekend is Easter. The time of year when we celebrate the greatest miracle in all of history; the resurrection of Jesus and we would love for you to join us.

Please note that we will not be having a Good Friday service as this is not a public holiday in Korea and most, if not all people will be working throughout the day or night. Our Sunday service will commence as usual at approximately 2:00pm and usually concludes between 3:30 and 4:00pm. We would love for you to join us.





Yellow Dust: Back with a Vengence

17 03 2008

With the arrival of spring comes the arrival of the dreaded yellow dust season. Here are some tips to help ward of the sickness that is almost inevitable at this time of year.

  • Visit http://www.seoul.amedd.army.mil/sites/yellowsand/default.asp for regular yellow dust readings from Seoul and other areas.
  • Wear a mask. For me, this was highly embarrassing at first, but it sure beats having a sandpaper throat infection for a month or two. As a rule, if the reading from the above site is over 150, I wear a mask.
  • Keep your windows closed when sleeping. I went to bed with my window wide open one night only to have a dust storm arrive while I was fast asleep. I was sick for at least a month after that.
  • If you like exercise outside, be sure to check the weather first. Exercising on high dust days will do far more harm than good.

Hope this helps.
