It's so amazing to me how we learn our language when we're kids. We don't question the grammar rules or the exceptions. Little Spanish kids go around rolling their "R's" and using the Subjunctive tenses like there ain't nothin' to it. I'll spend the rest of my life perfecting these things!
But really, people aren't that different. Sometimes it just blows my mind that people can sound SO different from each other...but be saying and thinking the exact same things. And even though life would 100billion times easier if the whole all spoke the same language....I'm really glad we don't.
That's one of the things that has amazed me most about God, lately. He understands every language. He can be glorified in any language. I love being able to switch back and forth between Spanish and English in my prayers. That has widened my understanding of God SO much. He knows what I'm saying! Anyway, I really get a kick out of that.
It makes me really excited for Heaven. When every knee will bow and every tongue will declare that Jesus is Lord. I can almost guarantee that it won't be in English. :)
Anywho....Here's a video of us (Mandy and I) at our Colombian friends' house.....with a bunch of Koreans.
Good times.

That video is incredible!!!
All that jazz is why I became a Linguistics major. It's all super cool to me. I think it would be cool in Heaven if we spoke the pre-Tower of Babel language. I mean, I wonder what Adam and Eve spoke? If we learn our language from our parents, they'd have to speak God's original language.
Okay, I'm getting into nerd territory now. You should update this thing more.

I love that God knows every language too and that can certainly bridge any gap when it's hard to understand someone who speaks a different language. With God it's just pure honesty and a heat felt prayer. Glad I came across your blog! You have a sincere heart and that is nice to see on a blog. :)
