Spring has sprung here in Korea. I think for the first time since I've been in Korea (4 years now) this is the first time I've really, really noticed all the cherry blossoms. They are so stinkin' pretty! Today the weather was wonderful and yellow dust free, so Kim and I decided to go for a bike ride today. It took us a while to get going, b/c Kim had to buy her bike first, then we had to get the tires aired up. That was quite the fiasco, but we got it done and took our new (to us) bikes out for a spin. It's been about a year since I rode a bike and before that one day last year I think it has been like 15 years. I'm getting so old. Mostly, it was so fun as I remembered why I used to love riding my bike everwhere as a child. The part that isn't quite as fun was the aching thighs that I have right now. It's okay, I'll get used to it.
I'm so thankful for seasons. I feel sorry for those places that don't get that experience. We talk in 7th grade science about what causes the seasons. Things like the tilt of the earth, the angle of the sun, etc... What they sometimes fail to see in that is the order in the universe and on this earth. I pray that as I continue to teach them I can help them to see just how amazing the planet we live on is. I hope that as they see the amazing creativity and order in the world that they can use that to see and understand where it all came from.
In 8th grade science we're studying Creation/Evolution. It's a daunting task to share my faith and my beliefs about this subject with them. I want them to believe that the earth was Created, that God created it and that He and His creation is amazing.

I've been guilty in the past of not understanding the beauty in somethings like uhhh... snakes, insects, rocks... Each of these "creatures" has been designed for a purpose, EVEN if I don't get it.
Hopefully as I learn more about God, I'll become more in awe of Him and His creation.
