>>how come you always write so much? i’m not sure why i write so much. i think it may have something to do with the fact that, at times, my heart writes for me and i think my heart has a lot it wants to express sometimes, haha, or all the time. anyhow, i guess it’s trying to make up for all the times it tends to be quiet when it’s physically around others. ::sheepish grin:: but, yeah, something God’s been speaking to me about is training myself to be one who speaks words of truth and grace that are seasoned with salt only when the Spirit wants to speak, testify, prophesy, edify, etc. i need to also speak less (and write less), in general. i want to grow in listening. anyhow, as you can see by this long comment that first began on my xanga with the ”lie” of “that is all,” i’m in the process of learning. . . but, hey (is for horses), good job on your growing list of korean vocabulary. God must have blessed you with an awesome korean teacher! you must remember to thank her lots next time you see her.  and, hehe, you know that “jahl gah” means “go well” or “leave well,” right? the korean version of “good night,” which is “sleep well,” is “jahl jah.” btw, prepare me for missions field by teaching me your language! i want to learn a little bit about as many languages as i could right now from all my friends who speak different languages so that i could maybe learn whatever language i may need to learn later in life more quickly.

also, i like your images of the orchids. and about needing a certain affinity with your subject if you are going to capture part of its soul… hehe, real trees don’t have souls… though human tree-like worshippers of God who are firmly rooted in His Word, who worship Him throughout all seasons of life, and who point others to heaven do… anyhow, maybe that’s why i take bazillion pictures of trees…

and, haha, the image of you and jo is hilarious.
