그때가 아마 2001년 10월21일 이었나?
하이킹간다고 광고 엄청하고 다들 간다고 난리치다가 갑자기 추워진다는 일기예보에
모두 배신을 때리고 정작 당일날 아침에 나타난 여섯명의 진정한 hiker들, 아님 정말 할 일없어서 올 수밖에 없었던 ^^.
하지만 왠걸 역시 주님은 우리편.
일기예보와는 달리 날씨는 화창했고 좀 추웠으나 산행으로 모두들 몸에서 땀이 날 수밖에 없었지.
매주 토요일도 일해야했던 우리의 장동검, 성우. 일하랴 공부하랴 쉴틈이 없었던 Drug Brother 영훈.
산냄새가 물씬 풍기는 기드온의 Conservative 규정, 항상 준비된 예비신부 영주
그리고 임마누엘 수석 피아니스트 은애자매.

떠나는 밴에서부터 이미 김밥을 다 먹어치우는 왕성한 식욕과 에너지를 보이던 우리들에게 하나님이 준비한 멋진 주말. 아마 그길은 규정이 한테도 마지막 나한테도 마지막이었지만 우린 그땐 그게 훗날 어떤 의미일지 짐작도 못한채
서로 농담으로 받아넘기며 아무렇지도 않게 얘기해했지.
생활이 때론 외롭거나 힘들때면 이사진을 보겠지. 그때 산정상에서 느끼던 바람과 우리의 입김과 함성, 그리고 나눈 이야기들을.....

Hey guys I already miss you guys

혁우의 라틴댄스	게다가 선그라스까지	심수봉을 연상시키는  "비가오면~~"
이사진은 뺄까 그러다가  나혼자보기엔 너무 아쉬워..	왜 항상 찍으면 종애만 이렇게... 미안하다 종애야...	경수의 군발이 박수
음... 황종하군의 열창	발라드로 갑자기 얌전한 분위기 연출...	이제 마지막이라 아쉽지만 즐거운 기드온 30대

2001년 12월24일 어이없는 여권소동으로 한국행 비행기를 놓쳐버린 그날. 대신 우리기드온 30something 이 노래방에 뭉쳤다. 이런 사진 교회게시판에 올려도 괜찮겠지. 뭐 이젠 웹서번트도 아니데... 재룡형 문제 있으면 얘기해요. 일부 자매들 사진에 문제가 있으면 산호세로 직접연락하면 수정가능. 나야 이미 멀리 떠나있지만 아직도 내사진기에는 올려야될 기드온 사진들이 많으니 다음건 나중에 올립니다.I miss you guys...

	This was at one Sushi bar in Japan. The guy behind me, he is my travel mate. We were working at the same company and it was new employee training program and I was 28 years. So young and so confident and so fun everything in my life. The girl in front me, she was a student at Tokyo and she was a Korean. How did I met her? I was asking her direction in Japanese and I got it. And she said "Are you Korean?" in Korean after all.
	Sorry man, I can't remember your name. We were on the same boat for 2 weeks and we had a plenty of money and our target was to travel from Osaka, Kyoto and to Tokyo. We had a full travel plan and a project also. We did a survey which was written in Japanese. Who made this? of course, its me. I went to Japanese speaking class for 6 months preparing this trip.
	look at my hair style. I changed my hair style for this trip. I wanted to make myself Japanese looking and my fashion too. So people on the street can't tell if I am Korean. If you want to learn Japan you got to be Japanese, language, culture, way of thinking, even food. Did I learn something from Japan? Yes I surely did. What did I learn? I learned I can be anywhere in the world and I can't learn anything before I love Japan.
	This is Tokyo Disney land. First time visiting. Just like a kid. not tired at all. Just enjoy what has given to me. I want to travel Japan again. The country Japan gave me a lot of good impression. I didn't even think about historical background. Yes there was some humiliating story in our history and I am not forgetting about that. But so what? We need to get over with that and move on. and maybe spread Gospel in the future.

	This was on the boat at Sydney Australia May, 1997. How can I remember exactly? Because that was the time I quit my job at Hanwha after 2 and half years.  And also one month before I came to US. At that time I got an admission from school and everything was ready. Only thing I was waiting for was just a flight. I'v never been to US before and starting new life at the city called, Philadelphia.  Can you guess the excitement I have at that time?
	Can you see my white bag pack? I brought that in US and used while I was in school. I was 29 and 30 years old. Did I go to church at that time? Well, No. I have decided not to go church again. Why? I thought God didn't answer my prayer which I desperately wanted. I was still happy without God in my life until I came to Philly.
	Can you read something from my face? You know why I didn't go to church. It was just one month after I broke up with my girl friend after long running struggle for 3 years. She stayed and I left. My blue t-shirt, she liked this very much and it was my favorite cloth because she liked it. I still have this but barely remember any story with this. We really wanted to travel together somewhere oversea. And this was my first oversea trip and she was not with me.
	But I was not all alone. I could find some friend from my package group. We went rafting? It was awesome. Best experience I ever had in my life. It was real white water and we were on boat for 6 hours. Dangerous? of course. that's why I like it. It makes you feel alive. It makes you shout as loud as you can and let your spirit fly into somewhere deep into the river. You should try.....
