last catch up: being surrounded

from Divine... I note this while on an hour and a half drive from one part of Seoul to another... p. 91 "Our souls are, accordingly, soaked with secularity..."

I note this while traveling in Korea, I note that this culture has become so westernized and so materialistic: youth, beauty, glitz, glamour, speed, everyone has a cell phone, bigger shiny cars, and the neon, holy cow there is SO MUCH neon... our world is indeed a giant tea cup that is filled with secularity instead of water, and we are the tea bag which soaks it up... this is why we need to pull our selves away from this world regularly... into a time soaking instead in the presence of God who is indeed "...round about us in Christ on every hand, with his many-sided and all-sufficient grace. All we need to do is open our hearts." (quoting Lewis quoting Ole Hallesby on p.78)
