i just had a retreat last weekend, and as donald said.. terms such as "life-changing," "eye-opening," and "powerful" seem to be thrown around too easily. so instead of those words, im gonna describe it just simply as a place/time where we met God and enjoyed his presence.

words just cant do it justice. especially my words- im not very good describing emotions and events. however, i feel this one segment we saw kinda summed it up pretty well. this is a true story:

there was a boy born with a disease that made him paralyzed- he couldnt talk, walk, or even move his hands freely. anyways, eventually around his early teen years the parents got him a keyboard on his wheelchair so that the son could hit the keys with his head. before this they couldnt communicate with their child at all.

so anyways, one day his son asks his father if they can run a local 5k marathon. his father agrees and trains so that they he can push his son's wheelchair around for the marathon. a while later, the son asks if they can run the boston marathon. the father again agrees and they finish second to last. a little while after that, the son asks his father if they can run the ironman triatholon. by this time, his father is in his mid 40s and doesn't even know how to swim (triatholon consists of running, biking and swimming ridiculous amounts). his father agrees and trains for months to do this for his son.

as i was watching this father swimming while tugging this rubber raft with his son in it.. as i saw the father wearily running up a hill, during the night, while pushing his son in a wheelchair.. as i saw the father finishing the race on a bike with a carriage for his son infront.. i was overwhelmed by this father's love for his son.

in an interview, he says he is only doing what any other father would do. the only time the father chokes up is when he says, "i get my strength from rick (son)." rick told his father, "dad, when im running it feels like im not even handicapped."

its like how jesus is pushing, pulling, dragging us toward the finish line. us that are so handicapped, who can't help ourselves, but he loves us.. he makes us feel like we're not handicapped.

i know the last post was a bit of a tear-jerker, but dont think the whole retreat was us crying. we did our fair share of crying- me especially, i usually never cry during prayer, but God really tore me up -but we also had a blast. it was just a great time with our heavenly father and our family here on earth.

actually a funny story is on the way back we stopped at some bbq place, smithsons? i forget the name, but anyways i think soob and i took the message about being a family too literally and ordered a family package just for the 2 of us. plus we got some bannana pudding cuz as the cashier girl said, "its the bomb." haha, when we heard that, we both said simultaneously, "give us 2 bombs!"

oh my goodness that was sooo much food. 8 pieces of chicken, two dozen hushpuppies, a gallon of ice tea, a pint of shredded bbq, potato salad and coleslaw. we were in heaven! we tore that sucker to shreds.. i think we finished everything except the coleslaw, that was a bit too soggy for us. just to compare, a group of 4 people also got a family package and had alot of leftovers. neither soob nor i ate dinner that night

donald must have said something hilarious..

they just wouldn't let it go! geez man, trying to ruin my virgin eyes >:|

ok, so as my roommates and i were driving to EASTERN LIGHTS to get us some of that sweet, sweet jjam-bong, we started talking about how far our friendships went.

then i brought up a very odd but very plausible situation. lets say that one of your best friends got bitten by a snake on their butt- WOULD YOU SUCK THE POISON OUT TO SAVE THEIR LIVES?

i said i would, because u can't let ur best friend die if u can do anything to help them!

both roy and yush said they wouldn't suck it out even if it was their best friend. they said the only way they would suck poison out of someone's butt was if they were a super hot girl.

this got me really mad, cuz.. well, frankly, we're probably gonna go camping together soon.. and i need to know someone has got my back! i can see myself dying on the ground and these jerks arguing about who knew me longer

after a bit of heated debating.. i think we just decided to buy a suction cup to our next camp trip from walmart.

yush brought up an interesting point about how it would be super ironic if they let me die but then one of them got bit by a snake. they know that i would have sucked it out for them, but since they let me died.. he would die too!

Dad,

I miss ya. thank u for loving me and always being there for me. i know i was far from the perfect son, but u sure were the perfect father. when others talk about how korean fathers usually don't show their affection, i thank the Lord u broke the mold. u were never ashamed to give me a kiss, a hug, or tell me u loved me. it meant the world to me.

i remember on a particular family snow trip, i was terrified to ski downhill. u carried me on ur back and i still remember thinking, "wow, my dad is so fearless!" i felt so safe in ur arms. it was the greatest ride of my life.

even during times that i would mess up or make mistakes, i knew u loved me. to know that i disappointed u, that hurt me so much more than the beating. i could see the hurt in ur eyes as u disciplined me. after every beating, u hugged me and told me u loved me with tears in ur eyes. thank u for caring enough to correct me and holding me to such a standard.

thank u for not just being my father but also a great friend. when mom told me u started worrying about losing ur hair and started using rogaine, i remember i would pluck a couple of my hairs and place them on ur pillow. after the initial screaming, u took it really well!

as i grow up, i hope and strive to become a man of honor, integrity, strength and love as u are.

Big Maza 40oz: Now that you have seen the film that has set the world on fire, I know what you are asking: What happened to the dog? Where is it now? And did I eat it? No, the dog was not eaten; that is just a filthy stereotype foisted upon hard-working Filipinos when in fact it should be foisted upon the backward, barbarian Koreans who have also been known to eat monkeys and would mate with ducks were it physically possible.

its been so long since we had such beautiful weather. with all the rain, snow, wind and clouds.. i forgot how nice it can be. its perfect out there now, around 70 with a slight breeze, sunshine and just a nice blue sky smiling back at me. i wish i could just sit out there and read a book or listen to a praise cd. maybe tomorrow.

its been a couple of days since i shaved my beard and stache. i joke that i was tired of getting food in it everytime i ate, but the truth is i was tired of being disappointed everytime i saw how little i had in the mornings. i didnt expect a full beard, but man.. u know its bad when ur 15 year old brother makes fun of ur "beard."

apparently some of the sisters at church were plotting on how to tell me to shave it without hurting my feelings. thanks girls!

i dunno, maybe i'll try growing some chest hair out next time..

keep on, keeping on fellas! don't be discouraged, but rather encouraged in God's grace and faithfulness.

crazy how the weather can affect peoples' moods. as i walk around campus, i definitely notice alot more smiles. i even notice in myself. there seems to be a bit of a skip to my step- thank goodness for the great weather!

today i had a stat exam. 2 questions, open book, open notes.. i actually feel cheated that i wasted 30 minutes studying for that test. i studied longer than it took me to take the test

ok, so at church last sunday we had communion. everyone at church would go up and tear a piece of bread and get a small glass of grape juice and sit back down at their seat. so we all got up, got our stuff and sat back at our seats... and i notice jiin coming back with the tiniest pinch of bread EVER! i was just thinking- since the bread is suppose to reflect the body of Christ, she must have gotten just a tip of his pinky toe! HAHAHAHAHA, i just thought that was hilarious

i must admit, i was really worried about being a small group leader for our upcoming college retreat this weekend. i just felt way inadequate and unworthy- until i started praying. now i feel honored and so grateful for being able to serve my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. i just feel like God has been looking forward to this retreat and has planned great things. i really go expecting to meet him and being changed.. again!
