Ah...school is in session. It is good. I really do enjoy students and the interaction with them. Although I think many think I'm off my rocker..of course they would never use that idiom. Today I played a game in class and got the students off their feet speaking English. I find Korean College students don't like to "touch" each other and they do not "mingle" well with those they do not know. They especially don't "mingle" well with the opposite sex. It is like dealing with grade school kids, you know, when they still think the opposite sex is "gross" or "has coodies". That said, in the end, they still had fun and so did I.
Intentional is my personal theme of the semester. I'm being more intentional about "games" in class this semester because the students need to be challenged in a more fun way. I'm also being more intentional about starting class with some kind of devotion. Our theme in English Chapel this semester is "Vision" (the school selected it for us) and we are preaching from John's gospel. (I'd say it is still my favorite gospel). So in my classses I'm using John as well. I don't know how much they are getting out of it...I'm getting something out of it. If nothing else, they will have no question that I'm a Christian and that I love talking about God in class. If that is the least, I'd say that is pretty good.
