This and That

Lately, I've been receiving emails from Guidelines for Living a daily Christian devotional on suicide. It's strange because I just finished re-watching "The Goblin" on Dramafever. Although, many Christians may judge me for watching this show. I think it had a beautiful way of letting people know how God dealt with this aspect of suicide. One of the characters in the show happened to be a grim reaper. Unlike the scary type we know as holding a sickle in his hand and wearing a dreary black gown, these were handsome men who dressed in nice suits and wore a black hat that made them invisible. They would walk the Earth just waiting for when someone to reach their time to leave. The writer of this drama was rather creative on how God punished people who committed suicide. He had them become grim reapers. Part of their journey was that they couldn't remember their past. They wondered never knowing what their true identity was.  Their job was to guide the dead souls...

        I've been watching K-dramas for over three years now. Of course, I don't speak Korean but I've come to grasp a few words here and there. I'm now able to greet my corner store owner in Korean. Mr. Kim's face always lights up when I do. Our neighborhood is predominantly Hispanic, so to look up and see one speak a word in your language brings a smile. Well after viewing so many dramas I've decided that  my favorite Korean word is "cronica" If you read this word as though you were reading it in Spanish, that's what it sounds like. This word means "so" or "then" in Korean.  This got me thinking how this word sounds like "chronological". So I looked it up online. The Greek word chronos, meaning “time,” gives us the root chron.  So my question is how did the Koreans get that word? Languages are amazing.  Oops, my geekiness is showing. LOL
