How about a warm up, then leg exercises, weights and then some aerobics. Well balanced right? Not often I am referred to as well balanced. What is your plan for a work out today? C''mon !

Psalm 10:17 "You hear, O Lord, the desire of the afflicted, you encourage them, and you listen to their cry." God hears all of our prayers and as the study writer said, the lonely can especially feel restored by God's comfort. God needs us to reach out to the lonely and afflicted, even a card or a phone call can raise someones spirits. If you are the lonely one, reaching out to someone else in their affliction can come back to you twice. The joy of helping someone else can lift you out of your own loneliness. God's angels sent out very often, are us. Who can you call today?

1979 I have made a point of keeping in touch with at least one person everyday for a long time. Back to 1979 I see, I called Pete's grandmother, Xana, to check on her. They had little family left and she wasn't speaking to her only daughter. I couldn't figure that out either. I also called my brother Andy to check in on him and the girls, who were 2 and just born. My brother Mark had stopped by my work and Pete brought home a little child's purse, from his mom, for Andy's 2 year old Merri. (Pete and I were not getting along then and his mom would find any excuse to send him to my house.) Now, that was a lot of sharing and caring (and meddling) for one day!
1979 - Zimbabwe proclaimed its independence. Independence is not always good for the people if a good leader is not elected.

Philippians 4:19 "And my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." How? you might ask? Someone shows up at your door with food when you have just returned from a hospital stay or calls to check on you, answering your needs for care. Have you donated clothes? Fed the hungry? Made a financial donation to a needy cause? God cares for our earthly needs by sending us on missions. Our spiritual needs are answered by Him through the comfort of His word and message. Jesus told us He is the Word and the way. What do you need?

1977 Pete had a 31 foot 1963 Sport Fisherman with the flybridge. It was wood and a great ride on the water. Today happened to be Memorial Day in this year and we were busy cleaning the boat. Later in the day we ran up to Metro and caught up with some friends, Snake and Marianne having a party there. The boat must have needed too much work for it not to be Put in Bay ready for the holiday weekend. It was very unlike Pete to miss that except, he started taking me along so it wasn't as much fun I guess. That was the best boat he had, I thought.
1539 - Hernando de Soto, the Spanish explorer, landed in Florida with 600 soldiers to search for gold. I wonder how much he found. Sounds like a good way to spend Memorial Day. Now it is a good place to spend your golden years. (I have heard)

Isaiah 58:8 "If you do these things, God will shed his own glorious light upon you. He will heal you, your godliness will lead you forward, and goodness will be a shield before you, and the glory of the Lord will protect you from behind." I am going to pass on talking about this being about my back. What do you think that first line "If you do these things" means? God is speaking to the Israelites who were looking for a quick fix to their ungodly lives. If you repent of your sins (you know which ones) and live the way we are intended to live (in love and compassions for all) then that glorious light will shine on you and He will be (as always) there for you, (and your back). I was kidding about not mentioning my back. He takes care of me, even, when I don't deserve it. God is good! Thank you Jesus for the salvation we have in you.

1976 Pete and I went to Pat's boat at the marina. His parents and grandparents were on the boat. It was Memorial Day weekend and the Saturday, so he was probably getting his dutiful son stuff taken care of. I remember his Mom and Dad well but don't remember the grandparents too much. After all these years we are still friends although many things have changed. The following year would have marked the opening of his ice cream truck business and Pat would be sadly missing from a lot of our shenanigans in the summertime. He still has a boat that he takes out once or twice in the summer.

Finally, Memorial Day weekend! What does it mean to you? Yardwork? opening the pool? Going up north to open the cabin, camp? BBQ? I'm going to the parade today. I love to watch the bands, the scouts and the vehicles go by, (Not the clowns, not a fan) Oh, and not the politicians, they have their own circus. So, to remember the Veterans, those with us and those who have died in or because of their service - I will stand when the Vets go by and hold my hand to my heart for our flag! I will exercise my right to all of the freedoms that our great United States afford us. God Bless the U.S.A!!

1974 There was a sign somewhere or someone told me about a lady that had a puppy she wanted to get rid of. I thought it might be a good friend for my kid brother Mark. I picked up the dog and brought him home on this day. It was the sweetest puppy ever. The parents were neighbors that somehow got through the fence and consummated their friendship. The father was a full bred, papered Cairn terrier and the mother was a full bred white Scotty show dog. And so we got - Ziggy Stardust, which is what Mark named the dog. He was white Scotty in the front and Cairn terrier in the back, like he had pants and a white shirt on. He was easily trained and extremely smart and had his fathers talent for chasing female dogs, even after he was fixed. He loved my Austin Healey convertible, the boat and trips up to Gaylord to see Grandma and Grandpa. He did not like kids. I only had him 7 years but think of him often. He is kind of the standard for dogs to me.

With the division of Korea into two states after 1945, the communist north and the anti-communist south, the majority of the Korean Christian population that had been until then in the northern half of the peninsula,[7] fled to South Korea.[8] It has been estimated that Christians who emigrated to the south were more than one million.[9] Throughout the second half of the 20th century, the South Korean state enacted measures to further marginalise indigenous Sindo, strengthening Christianity and a revival of Buddhism.[10] According to scholars, South Korean censuses do not count believers in indigenous Sindo and underestimate the number of adherents of Sindo sects.[11] For instance, statistics compiled by the ARDA[12] estimate that as of 2010, 14.7% of South Koreans practice ethnic religion, 14.2% adhere to new movements, and 10.9% practice Confucianism.[13] I guess another reason we are more aligned with South Korea.

Hebrews 12:1-2 "Let us run with perseverance, (patience, and endurance) the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith.." This made me think of Nicole because she has been running at camp the last few days and posting her accomplishments. The study writer here says "No matter the challenges, we need to keep looking to Jesus, who is running right alongside us, every step of the way." I have often thought of Jesus being with Nicole in snowboarding clothes, with a life jacked in a kayak, with a backpack on, traveling, etc. I have given her pictures of Jesus in not so typical "old" portraits. It brings me comfort to know He is there with her, whatever she is doing, and I know her path always leads to Jesus, the perfecter of our faith.

1968 It was a Monday, but I was working so it was before they changed the holiday to the Monday holiday rule. In 1968 Memorial Day was still celebrated on the 30th. I noted that after work I went home, watched tv and sewed. What a huge difference in activities! Who still sews? I suppose some of you do. Actually, I have gotten back to coloring and doing jigsaws (on my computer) in my spare time. It also mentioned that we had a record rain fall in the previous days. Looking out of my window today at my flooded yard, I realize some things have stayed the same.
1968 - After 48 years as coach of the Chicago Bears, George Halas retired. Wow! long time, anyone remember this guy?

One of the places I have never heard any of my friends or any acquaintances visit is the botanical garden at the bottom of Geumjueng Mountain, which abuts the park which contains the cable car, (maybe called 금정공원… that’s just a guess).
Anyway, for a fair-weathered Sunday it was perhaps one of the least crowded places I have been to, encompassing a deceptively large area.
We took bus 203 from Oncheonjang up the hill to the botanical garden. Tickets were 1000 won.
Look at those trees!!! Great place for today!

Jeremiah 29:12-13 "Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart." Search for God with all your heart. Often our prayers are rote, from memory and not spoken with sincerity. Getting into a time of meditation, quietness and prayer is a practice you need to work on. Turning off the noise, your phone and the everyday hum of life can be difficult. God knows how important your time with Him is. Search for Him with all your heart in the quiet moments of your day. He will be there, as He always is, but you will have a better sense of His presence.

2015 Wow! this was a busy day. My friend Amy was staying at my house for a few days to get back on her feet after back surgery. Her bedrooms were all upstairs and mine aren't. Her family were devoted and all here to look in on her. I loved the house full of people and the comedy they provided ie Glen and my cat. I was also finishing up editing for my book that was in process of being published and had to go see Mom in her new home that she moved to after a few months of craziness. Then I went to Polish Cafe with my cousins for dinner. I'll bet I didn't find any quiet time that day. I do love activity!

Busan South Korea
Bursting with mountains and beaches, hot springs and seafood, South Korea’s second-largest city is a rollicking port town with tonnes to offer. From casual tent bars and chic designer cafes to fish markets teeming with every species imaginable, Busan has something for all tastes. Rugged mountain ranges criss-crossing the city define the urban landscape, while events such as the Busan International Film Festival underscore the city’s desire to be a global meeting place. Note that Busan is within the boundaries of Gyeongsangnam-do but is a separate administrative unit with its own telephone area code.
It's all glitter, glamour and gossip in October when the Busan International Film Festival (BIFF) takes centre stage. Not just about movies – 319 films from 79 countries in 2014 – the real buzz centres on which Korean female starlet will wear the most revealing dress on the red carpet. Sounds like another place I know!

Jim and Cheryl Hodge's home was on nice shaded country acres and it was wonderful to see a lot of old friends. I'm so glad Jim organized these get togethers when he did. It is a great Memorial Day memory. Jim unfortunately isn't around to have these parties, he went on a cruise in 2015, the following year and died while eating an ice cream cone. Some people just know how to live - and die. RIP Jim.

All this going on during thunder and rain storms. I can look back and laugh, so if you are doing this today - remember in the future, you may be able to look back and laugh. This too shall pass! (PS I did ballet on this morning too, hope that's not an omen.) Nicole you did get your tabs, right?
1618 - The Thirty Years War began when three opponents of the Reformation were thrown through a window. Boy, it doesn't take much does it?

James 1:17 "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows." The study writer asked what the most treasured gift was that I had ever received. My daughter first and the wonderful life I have enjoyed, but maybe, best of all my faith. Ok, my daughter and my faith, but so many other things that I can't list. I seldom think of the wonderful "things" I have been gifted with. I am not a good receiver of gifts, I feel like I don't show enough thankfulness to the person that gives them to me. If you are one of them, please know that I appreciate dearly, the gifts and thoughts that have gone into them. Thank you for everything! As for my gifts from God, I prayed that He would keep me close and so, He keeps me poor.
On this day
2009 My boss was in the hospital having a hip replacement. He wasn't an easy guy to get along with in the first place but this put him over the edge. He wasn't one of those guys to pay to attention to what the doctors said to do afterwards, either. But knowing that was going to happen, Nicole had her second kegger on this night and I forgot until Monday that I would have to deal with this. Now that was a gift!
1246 - Henry Raspe was elected anti-king by the Rhenish prelates in France. is a would-be king who, due to succession disputes or simple political opposition, declares himself king in opposition to a reigning monarch. Just wondered.

Yongdusan Park is a park located in Jung-gu, Busan, South Korea. The 118-meter-high Busan Tower is located here.
Yongdu means “dragon’s head” and “san” means “mountain”. The name is an allusion to the similarity of the mountain park, which is said to resemble a dragon’s head. The park occupies an area of 69,000 square meters. It has 70 different species of trees growing in it.[1]

"Eating mindfully, choosing and savouring food away from the distractions of computers and televisions, can help people lose weight, a study has shown. A programme in the US tells people they can eat what they want, including their favourite high-calorie, fattening foods.

Proverbs 4:11 " I guide you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths." This reminds me of a winter retreat at camp Michi Lu Ca when Nicole and Hilary led a large group of us through the deep woods and ravines with at least a foot of snow at midnight. I will never forget what would have possibly been my worse nightmare - cold, dark and lost into a beautiful peace and appreciation of trust in the faith of the people with me. The road back to the lodge was lit with moonlight and the ground was covered with perfect shadows of the branches of the trees overhead. God's earth - and we would be wise to follow the straight paths he leads us on.

2008 Our street was all torn up as they replaced the water and sewer lines and repaved. They were doing the other side of the half so we could still get into our driveway but our neighbors cars were often in our driveway, also. On this day I took Nicole's car to work because it was the last one in the drive-way. We had to adjust to the inconvenience but Hey! we had a porta potty in the yard that came in handy for Nicole's kegger a few days later.
1542 - Hernando de Soto died along the Mississippi River while searching for gold. This is the down side of being an explorer. I wonder if his mother ever knew of his demise.

2007 Nicole was on her way home from Florida. She opted to take a vacation on the day she graduated from Albion College and so we had a modest dinner in Jackson with just the immediate family.

While that’s all true, few people realize that it is also home to a robust musical sound-scape and was once considered the musical center of Korea. Busan boasts a thriving music scene loaded with different musical styles and a wide variety to appeal to every taste, from punk to jazz and ska, metal to indie and electronic, hip-hop to grunge and DJ — the list goes on. It could even be considered enough to rival Seoul with its Hongdae area. I didn't know!

Psalm 33:22 "May your unfailing love rest upon us, O Lord, even as we put our hope in you." I am saddened when I hear of another suicide. It is the complete lack of hope for anything better that people are faced with that creates this horrendous act. It leaves the rest of us, who might have known that person feeling sad and guilty, thinking we might have helped. Without hope for the next minute, hour, day, week, year or life, there is no reason to go on. Our God wants us to have that hope, that knowledge that there is no end - His love is unfailing and goes on into eternity. Our faith that supports our hope in the future is what we need to survive.

Ephesians 4:32 "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you." The study writer tells a story of a son who left home and was gone for years. His mother was inconsolable. After a while, the son, unkempt with dirty clothes and long hair came back and stood outside, not knowing if his mother would forgive and welcome him. There is a Bible story very much like this. The message is - will God forgive you and accept you back? If you have a parent that wouldn't accept you back - you most likely would associate that behavior with how God would react. Not so. God has the capacity to be more forgiving and accepting than us humans. So, forgive one another, be kind and know that God welcomes all of His children home.

Busan South Korea
As Busan was one of the few areas in Korea that remained under the control of South Korea throughout the Korean War, for some time it served as a temporary capital of the Republic of Korea. UN troops established a defensive perimeter around the city known as the Pusan Perimeter in the summer and autumn of 1950. Since then, like Seoul, the city has been a self-governing metropolis and has built a strong urban character.

If you have an ounce of belief in God - you have a form of faith, which is believing in something you cannot see. So, you have the faith and should know that he loves you the same as any other person on this earth.

Updated: Haedong Yonggungsa Temple – 해동 용궁사 (Gijang, Busan)
Haedong Yonggungsa Temple, which means “Korean Dragon Palace Temple,” in English, was first founded in 1376 by the Venerable monk Naong who was an advisor to King Gongmin. One day in a dream, the Divine Sea god of the East Sea revealed itself to Naong. He was told to construct a temple at the top of Mount Bongrae and the nation would become larger and more stable. So after checking around the nation for a place to build a temple, he found the land where the temple now rests. In the process, he named the temple Bomunsa Temple. However, in 1592, during the Imjin War with Japan, the temple was burned to the ground. It wasn’t until the 1930’s, over 300 years after its destruction, that the Venerable monk Ungang, from Tongdosa Temple, rebuilt the temple. He renamed it Haedong Yonggungsa Temple.

Isaiah 30:15 "In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength..." The study writer touched a nerve with me today. "Lack of confidence is no respecter of persons. It can strike because of how we perceive our appearance, go through illness......" That is currently my issue. I can't handle being perceived as "ill". This has been a difficult year with lung cancer surgery and then a month later a respiratory flu. I don't want to be seen as a "sickee" and keep reassuring everyone that I am fine. I am working on trusting in God to see me through this, He always does, but my self confidence has taken a hit. I need more quiet time and should turn off the TV to reduce the noise. If you are dealing with a setback of one sort or another, remember to take time with God to be restored and comforted. "in quietness and trust is your strength.."

2000 I called Waynette, Barb and Kathy to check who was meeting for dinner the next night. This same group plus others are going out tomorrow night also. More importantly, Nicole had honor night at the High School and received an Academic/Athlete award. I was/am so proud of her and who she is. We always want our kids to achieve higher standards than we did - and she has! Still proud. Stay involved in your kids school and let them know it is important to you and them that they do well at school and with others. Life is better for those kids.

Shopping and commerce[edit]
Commercial areas are dispersed throughout the city near busy intersections and adjacent to university campuses, but the two largest central business districts in Busan are Seomyeon and Gwangbok-dong/Nampo-dong. There are also four substantial shopping areas of note: Seomyeon, Gwangbok-dong, Busan Dae Hakap in Jangjeon-dong, and Centum City in Haeundae-gu.
