Time for a Comeback

Good Evening World!

It has been a LONG time since I have attempted this blogging idea. I have repeatedly asked myself to get back to this place over the last few weeks. I am happy to announce the Keep Going blog is back for now.

First of all, I do not know how long it has been since I last typed in this box provided courtesy of Google's Blogspot service. A lot has happened in life though. There have not been many big changes though.

Currently, I am sitting in a hotel room in Knoxville, TN, 18 hours away from the Region 6 AAU Qualifying Track and Field Meet. For the last few months I have been coaching the Blues City Runners, a track club that I once represented (as a distance runner).

I have three runners (distance-wise) that all have very good shots at qualifying for the Junior Olympics next month in Norfolk, VA. I spend three days a week practicing with these kids, and it has been just as rewarding as teaching English in Korea was to me.

I have not done a great job keeping in touch with everyone in Korea these days, so I found a nice little Korean church, with a few American men that are actually married to Korean women. I really enjoy sitting through sermons that are in Korean (while following with English translations).

There is a sweet little lady in the church with an amazing operatic voice, who gives me goosebumps every time I attend a service. Her name is Kim Wickes, and I found out through the pastor of the church that she actually spent some time singing  for Billy Graham's Crusade. This lady has certainly lived life to the fullest, considering she lost her sight at age 3. Please click on the link below, and even do some searching on your own. She has an incredible voice for such a petite lady.

Here is a picture of Pastor Ho Jin and myself that he took on his new Samsung phone recently.



I just may be back for another blog post soon! There might be a hot tub calling my name downstairs.
