Love

Our job is to love others without stopping to inquire whether or not they are worthy.
That is not our business and, in fact, it is nobody's business.
What we are asked to do is to love, and this love itself will render both ourselves and our neighbors worthy if anything can.

Thomas Merton (1915 - 1968)

Tae Kwan Do

While Owen's lesson had already started, Chloe was telling Mrs. Jones that she could say the Oath.

She rocked it and got a high five after saying it correctly.

We watched Owen move through his self defense moves with Mr. Poole.

He didn't even flinch when Mr. Poole was kicking FAST right in front of him.

Then it was time for Chloe's second class to start (she will earn her white belt at her third class).  She stood up in front of her class and said the oath again, loud and clear for everyone to hear.  Chloe earned a stripe on her belt for saying the oath and showing such confidence.  I think the instructors were pretty surprised that she knew it so well and by her third class.
