Autumn Adventures

​The month of October has been full of activities for the Kim Clan. Some of the activities have been planned and some of them have just happened. The picture above shows an impromptu Sunday outing to a park. One of many autumn adventures. Let’s get started.

Let’s start with the youngest. Jordan loves to play dakchee. It’s a game where you slam down a piece of plastic that is oddly shaped like a Korean cartoon character onto another cartoon character and do what you can to make the one on the bottom jump. If you do make it jump you win that dakchee. It’s a skilled game that the boys here love to play. And it’s a great tragedy when you lose one to another player.

Jordan went out on last Sunday after church with one dakchee. He came back with sixteen dakchee! His brothers congratulated him on this amazing feat. It proved that he can do something very well.

Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might; for there is no activity or planning or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol where you are going.
​Ecclesiastes 9:10


This is the same child who cries when he doesn’t want to memorize a Bible verse or he doesn’t feel like brushing his teeth and tries to trick me. But he is able to do something wholeheartedly.

Aidan is a truth-teller. 

The other day he looked up from what he was doing, smiled, and exclaimed, “Mommy, you have white hair!” 

“Yes, I know. Your mother is getting old!”

He considered that for a moment and then said, “Age is only a number!”

I was a little dumbfounded by this and made a plan to fix my hair shortly after that.

A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
Proverbs 15:1


That is Aidan. He works on being charming, but sometimes he is still very “honest” about what he thinks. 

Justin is also rather charming. Last weekend he asked me to help him with a school project which did turn out well. His friend had called and asked if I would be the “glue” to their promotional video for Sejong Boys High School. I saw “glue” because his friend decided I was going to be the start and the end of the video. I was supposed to ask about their school and how things got done. 

I was actually in the middle of something else when Justin asked me, and I didn’t seem overly pleased with the idea behind it. I actually got a little upset. 

“Mom, why are you upset?”

”I’m working on something else Justin!” 

“It will only take five minutes.”

”Okay, Justin.”

A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
Proverbs 15:1


I did help him that day. Five minutes turned into twenty five minutes with the “help” of his friend. I also know he was doing damage control between myself and his friend.

The boys are getting on well but dining room table is always loud. They are slowly learning that a soft answer turns away wrath.
