8.15
Tomorrow, August 15th, is Korea's "Liberation Day," sometimes erroneously referred to as "Independence Day." Hanchongnyeon, the unapologetically pro-North Korean and thankfully still outlawed Federation of Korean University Student Councils, is planning a new series of anti-American demonstrations across the country. Their choice of a date is a bit ironic, as the Americans had no small part in Emperor Hirohito's famous surrender speech of August 15th, 1945 and Korea's subsequent liberation from 35 years of Japanese colonial rule.

Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
