I'm getting my days mixed up now, so I don't know which report this is.Today we left the Kwanglim Seminar house (pictured above) bound for Prayer Mountain. On the way, though, we stopped at a Korean Village/Living history kind of place. It was fantastic, though a bit chilly. We saw examples of life in Korea 150 years ago, along with celebrations of Korean arts and dance.
You can't tell from this picture, but this young lady is flying so high as the result of a teeter-totter style board. There is a girl on the other end who will fly just as high when this girl lands.
After the Korean Village we completed our journey to Prayer Mountain, where we will stay for the next two nights.
We opened the evening with a prayer walk up (where else?) the mountain. There were 12 stations and 12 of us offered meditations on different. The different meditations were a blessing to hear. Some of them were from our International Beeson students, and it's always nice to hear their perspectives on scripture.
After supper we were offered prayer rooms for the night. These are little closets with a pillow on the floor (no chairs or kneeling benches). The good thing about that is that it's almost impossible to fall asleep while praying in there. The bad thing is that it's also hard to get comfortable enough to focus on prayer. I can see how it would take quality practice to be good at praying that way. My time in the prayer closet was helpful. Having a place to pray is important and taking the time is even more important.
It's now the next Tuesday here, and I need to get some sleep. Tuesday is a big day for us.
Peace!
