Thanks for praying

Ye must have been praying, because last night was great! I also had picked up a Korean hymn book from the second hand shop. Now, most of the books I got were dirt cheap, but not the hymn book! It was FREE! They charged me NOTHING for it (and, while I am talking about it, neither did the other books, because Monica donated her credit for donated items to my card, so I still have credit on my card there). Last night I was up until past midnight finding favourite hymns, and singing them - in Korean. It is so unspeakably rewarding to finally be able to do that. It has been such a long time coming. Now, I can recognize a hymn, and - if I know the melody well enough - sing it in Korean. I may not know the meaning of every word I am singing, but my level of comprehension has never been this high - not even close.

Words are "ripening" in my mind like fruit off of a tree. So, needless to say, I am feeling a lot better today than yesterday. The main reason, I think, was a free hymn book from a second hand shop (possibly run by the Young Men's Christian Association, aka YMCA).
