I haven’t joined in the jokes about Kim Jong Il’s death. Â By all accounts he was a terrible leader-according to many accounts truly awful-but I don’t relish the death of anyone.
But, I read
We at least know that the Humankind’s Greatest Musical Genius is wrong. Â Nickleback gets that one.
No? Â Who then, Creed?
Sorry, back on track here… It is so easy to look into another culture and see how they misconstrue reality…how they miss the point. Â It made me stop and reflect a bit about how we do the same. Â Things that seem self-evident to us can be very easily seen through by others. Â Cultural nuances that we are blind to. Â It makes me want to be very deeply rooted and carefully reflective. Â It makes me want to be sure that I am among people who will help me to make sure I see myself and the world the way that God would have me.
Sure, I would never say I shot 5 (or 11) holes in one in a single day. Â But what other lies might I be very willing to tell myself? Makes me think of a Proverb that says, “Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses.” Â
Let’s pray, for the sake of the South Korean people, that Kim Jong Un will do better.
