rest of the memory from korea
























































손양원 목사님의 삶과 아들들의 순교를 다룬
사랑의 원자탄을 찍은 소록도
















Inside the house we stayed near Bo-Sung Green Tea Field
It was raining in the morning.
So peaceful...

So beautiful...




Hmmm...Justin...(-__-)
What...are...you...doing??


Nope, I didn't ask Jane to do it.
Jane told me to do it.
Seriously.
She said that she will be an obedient student who dearly respects her teacher.

Of course, we had to have their green tea ice cream!
We screamed for some more ice cream!

Pastor Han cooked Ra-Myun for us while we were taking a walk in the green tea field.
How nice!!

Eating Ra-Myun after the morning walk.
Goooooooood~!
Whose foot is that?! Ang??

I really like my first uncle and his wife.
First uncle's family with his son, daughter-in-law, and his granddaughter
I went to visit my old church pastor in Korea.
They remodeled the whole church!

The church's name had been changed from Bong-Chun-Jung-Ang to Happy Church.
My cousin who drove me everywhere I wanted to go while I was in Korea.
I still cannot believe that he's all grown up.
We used to play every day at our house when we were young.
My younger girl cousin who just got married 6 months ago.
They were on a vacation, but we were able to see each other on the phone.
One of my cousins had a phone that I could talk and see the other person's face all at the same time. Cool!
The Singles' Group
Some of my younger cousins
Second uncle's daughter, son-in-law, and their two children.
Last aunt with her daughter, son-in-law, and her son.

finding my star...


you see

there are countless stars
glowing in the dark night sky

one of them is mine for sure,
but i haven't found it yet

where are you
can you please shine brighter than other stars just for a second

only if i knew where you were
...
only if
...

My Painting: 구세주 LORD Savior




I was soooooo inspired to paint this piece this morning.

I don't know why, but I dated it as 2009, not 2008.
I will just leave it as it is.



Title:
Lord Savior (In Korean: /Goo-Se-Joo/)

Inspiration:
I will never, ever change my spiritual conviction
just because the whole world is telling me
that I'm not doing what they are doing.

Got it?
GOD it!!!


Oh, yeah!
I feel good.
Really good.
