I'm proud to say that Korea is my new home! The photo above was taken a few weeks ago in Jeonju, a traditional/historical district in Korea. While I
did participate in the lion dance, the picture is not of me but of two friends instead. I guess I wasn't good enough to have my picture taken!
My move to Korea has been the culmination of a two-year long process involving much prayer, research, preparation, and counsel from others. If you've been in my life over the past two years, you may have been a part of this process! While it is difficult to summarize all of my reasons for moving overseas, I can at the very least try to give you an idea.
I was born in America. I was raised to believe that the Bill of Rights was God's gift to mankind. I grew up memorizing the preamble to the Constitution and thoroughly internalizing the absolute necessity of the "right to bear arms." I know all about the dangers of tyrannical government and the importance of self-defense. I get it. I get the Second Amendment and all the reasons why people protect it so religiously.
But actually I don't get it anymore.
