In English we are currently writing an essay in response to a prompt about one of the many soliliquys in Hamlet. Our teacher collected our first drafts and handed them back out at random and had us take whichever one we got and type it up over a five day weekend. Before leaving class he told us that we had better have them typed because we had five days to search the universe to find someway to do so. he followed that with this (and I qoute): "Do not darken my doorway with emptyhandedness... And WOE! to those who were not here today"Welcome!
You may wonder at the title of my blog. And originally it was a title that was very insignificant (see first post). I have often had the desire to change my blog's name or even to start a new one as the address is also soo do or pseudo. But this last year at bible school I had an assignment on generosity based on two chapters from the Bible (Leviticus 25 and Deuteronomy 15) that changed my perspective a bit. In Deuteronomy God tells the Israelites "...you shall not harden your hearts, nor close your hand from your brother, but you shall freely open your hand to him and generously lend him sufficient for his need, whatever he lacks." (Deut. 15:7-8).
Soo do means open hand in Korean, or at least that is what I have been told in my karate classes, and after remembering this and working through my generosity assignment, I wondered to myself: Am I a soo do (open hand) christian or a psuedo christian? This question continues to challenge me. I often keep my time, money, and encouragements to myself and don't give generously. But God calls us to give all we have, for our security lies not in our weatlh, or health, or time, or place, but ultimately in Him.
This blog is for me to share my thoughts and my days, things I love and places I go, my struggles and His victories, and ultimately His work in and through me will hopefully make me a soo do christian.

English... oh the horror
So, my english teacher has officially taken my life away. we have this wonderful little thing called a chapbook. And in addition to what we already use it for he wants us to write 2 IFW's (Ideas for writing) , 4 entries on passages from resources we've read outside of class and style analysis on each, (this goes for things we've read in class as well), words we don't know with a definition(duh!), and phrases we find interesting or amusing (the one fun part) per week. Not to mention the same day he gave us the book 1984 to read and have the first six chapters read by next class.
Sooooo, If there are no new posts for awhile after this fret not I am merely trying to suceed in english lest Mr. Stout fire me.
