I can't think of anything to write tonight. Usually, I just write what I'm thinking, but the only thing occupying my mind right now is sleep.. and 초완 (if I spelled that right...) She's awake now, doing something while some part of her mind listens attentively for text messages on her phone. She responded to a facebook message I sent her via Facebook 모바일. We're gonna Skype for the first time since I've been back next Saturday. It's too bad that we have to schedule these things a week in advance, but we do what we have to do. I get flustered every time I remember her, and how easy it was to make her blush.
My roommate is probably wide awake right now, waiting for me to go to bed. He doesn't like the light from my monitor. I'll finish this off with a story.
So a farmer had a lot of work to do one day. He puts out an add and hires some guys to do the work for him, telling them he'll pay them each $120 a ten hour day. They come in in the morning, and the farmer soon realizes that the work isn't gonna get done that day. About 9AM he goes out and hires some more people to work for him -- saying he'll pay them for a day's work. About 5PM he sees that there is still some extra work to be done, and if he can get just a few more people he can polish off his whole field up to some quota he wants to meet. He quickly goes to a nearby shop and asks a few people doing nothing if they want to help for good pay. A few come out, and sure enough the job is finished to the farmer's satisfaction.
He calls them in and gives them each the full $120. Of course, the people who had been working there all day expected they'd get paid more. They complained to the farmer, and he said, "Look, we agreed on your pay, and what I'm doing is not unfair. I want to pay you each the same, and I'll do what I want with my money -- don't I have the right to do that? or are you mad because I am generous?" and he said "Just take your money and go."
I wonder if that's what will happen in heaven... when everyone receives the same reward for their repentance... I hope... I will not be the disgruntled servant, because "I am less than the least of all God's people" -- we are all created equal, and we will all equally return to the dust from which we came.
"So the last will be first, and the first will be last."
