    This was the video my bro put together for the funeral and memorial service.
    I’m officially in Hawaii now, temporarily with Lynette in Waikiki, and school started Monday.

    It’s been… a crazy summer. 

    Thank
    you, to everyone who sent their condolences via phone, mail, email,
    text, IM and especially through prayer.  I’m sorry I didn’t tell
    many people about the memorial service, nor was I very good with
    returning calls/IMs/texts/mail… though my family is trying to get on
    with our lives, I still don’t feel completely ready to talk about all
    of this, but I have a feeling people understand.

    The tone of
    my last entry was angry and vengeful, believe it or not.  But what
    I’ve realized since then is that Satan got the message and didn’t leave
    me alone throughout all the grief.  But as my brother
    representatively spoke during the memorial service, Satan is very, very
    stupid.  Because the more he attacks me the more I’m resolved to
    stake my life to break him down.  In a way, this event has shown
    me that I have nothing to lose and, hence, no fear. 

    I’m
    now in Hawaii… “paradise” and yet my thoughts drift toward real
    paradise, where my father rests to the voice of God saying, “Well done,
    good and faithful servant.” My dad was a major reason for me pursuing
    Korean, a fact hard to ignore during my studies in the Flagship
    program.  He was my mentor, teacher, and hanja guru… the first
    person I’d call in any language emergency.  But most of all I saw
    our relationship growing in the gospel… and the joy it gave me
    couldn’t be compared to anyone else.  He was my physical father,
    spiritual leader, and model Remnant who raised Remnants.  It’s
    impossible not to miss his presence, though I know I’m grown and can
    face the world alone.

    I’ve been sent away to the field at a time when I feel I should be home.
    In the midst of trials and hardships, how can I contest the working of the Holy Spirit within God’s perfect plan?


               my dad in his 40s.  hardly looks it, yeah?
