Sorry for the break

It is Thanksgiving day, and I am ecstatic to post some things which I am very grateful for. First and foremost, I am thankful for the ability to live a life that has been redeemed. I'm am thankful for all the opportunities I have had because of my acceptance of Christ. It's incredible to see the places life will take a faithful person. Secondly, I am so grateful for every single person that has contributed to my life on any level. Those that have financially invested into the work I am doing, and those that are regularly praying for the work the Lord is doing through me.

I also am thankful for health and safety. Not many people know, but I have been having some recent health problems which appear to be on the mend. So, I am excited that things are beginning to head back the way of normal. For the safety of others, as recently there has been an epidemic of car accidents with my family. All have been minor, with no one suffering severe injuries. So, with all of this, I am thankful for answered prayers.

And I'm back...

Well...I am very thankful to report that even though the schedule what nothing short of hectic, my trip to Ireland was a smashing success. 43 hours of travel accompanied with 31 hours of face time (eleven of which were being slept through), and I was successfully able to say a long goodbye to some friends I will not be seeing for quite some time.

Do I regret this voyage? Absolutely not. It was in many many ways completely mandatory. This was really one of the last times the "Korean Klan" was going to be able to be gathered in a single location (with the unfortunate exclusion of Ed...who was desperately missed, and brought up in conversation on several occasions). I am very glad that I went, and would do it again, if I had to choose to. However, with that said, there is absolutely no way I would ever make such an abbreviated trip (if I can avoid it).

All I'm saying is that if I am coming to see you, I better be getting more than the time it took to travel to hang out. So, I am in the process of recovering. I am also wondering what else I can get myself into while I am over here. I have basically lived behind a fortified wall for a weekend, went parasailing, and have been to Ireland. Crazy.
