Beyond the Blue Lagoon...
Everytime I see this picture, I am reminded of Moon River. I learned that the song was originally written for Audrey Hepburn, who at that time was not an accomplished vocalist. Thus, the composers had to write a song that accomodates within her vocal range.
For some reason, I cannot help but think about her. I wonder...

Scooter Libby Indicted!!
Scooter Libby Indicted!!
on 5 counts including perjury, obstruction of justice, and false statements. Mr. Libby has served as the Chief of Staff for the Vice President Dick Cheney and has resigned from the post effective immediately. His resignation was accepted by the Bush administration.
For now, Karl Rove, the architect of the Bush's power from Texas to Washington, is off the hook contained in the indictment.
The special prosecutor, Patrick Fitzgerald, has stated that the investigation, however, is not over and will continue even as the statue for the grand jury termed ended as of today. It's not clear whether he will seek extension of grand jury's service. Also, is not clear is whether the special prosecutor will seek indictment of more senior officials of the Bush administration.

White House to the Onion
The message from the White House to the Onions..stop using the Presidential seal! Apparently, Onion.com has been parodying president Bush with spoof weekly radio address. Some of the humors even got to the staffers at the White House where the spokesperson admitted that there were people in the White House who were amusing themselves with the site. For the full story click here.
Dude stop already...
USA Today was caught with photoshopping pictures of Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice by having her eyes pop out like a demon. Can you guys stop messing around with public figures in a childish way? This is ridiculous.

오 주여, 지금은 아무것도 보이지 않습니다.
주여! 지금은 아무것도 보이지 않습니다.
주님, 메마르고 가난한 땅
나무 한 그루 시원하게 자라 오르지 못하고 있는 땅에
저희들을 옮겨 와 심으셨습니다.
그 넓은 태평양을 어떻게 건너왔는지
그 사실이 기적입니다.
주께서 붙잡아 뚝 떨어뜨려 놓으신 듯한
이곳 지금은 아무것도 보이지 않습니다.
보이는 것은 고집스럽게 얼룩진 어둠뿐입니다.
어둠과 가난한 인습에 묶여 있는 조선 사람뿐입니다.
그들은 왜 묶여 있는지도, 고통이라는 것도 모르고 있습니다.
고통을 고통인 줄을 모르는 자에게 고통을 벗겨주겠다고 하면
의심하고 화부터 냅니다.
조선 남자들의 속셈이 보이지 않습니다.
이 나라 조정의 내심도 보이지 않습니다.
가마를 타고 다니는 여자들을 영영 볼 기회가 없으면 어쩌나 합니다.
조선의 마음이 보이지 않습니다.
그리고 저희가 해야 할 일이 보이질 않습니다.
그러나, 주님 순종하겠습니다.
겸손하게 순종할 때 주께서 일을 시작하시고
그 하시는 일을 우리들의 영적인 눈이
볼수 있는 날이 있을 줄 믿나이다.
"믿음은 바라는 것들의 실상이요 보지 못하는 것들의 증거니..."
라고 하신 말씀을 따라
조선의 믿음의 앞날을 볼수 있게 될 것을 믿습니다.
지금은 우리가 황무지 위에 맨손으로 서 있는 것 같사오나
지금은 우리가 서양 귀신 양귀자라고 손가락질 받고 있사오나
저희들이 우리 영혼과 하나인 것을 깨닫고,
하늘나라의 한 백성, 한 자녀임을 알고
눈물로 기뻐할 날이 있음을 믿나이다.
지금은 예배드릴 예배당도 없고 학교도 없고
그저 경계의 의심과 멸시와 천대함이 가득한 곳이지만
이곳이 머지않아 은총의 땅이 되리라는 것을 믿습니다.
주여 !오직 제 믿음을 붙잡아 주소서!

A Letter to Mrs. Bixley
Dear Madam,
I have been shown in the files of the War Department a statement of the Adjutant-General of Massachusetts that you are the mother of five sons who have died gloriously on the field of battle. I feel how weak and fruitless must be any words of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering to you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save. I pray that our heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom.
