Many of you have heard the news from yesterday that North Korea shelled an island off of South Korea, killing one and injuring many, including civilians. South Korea responded in kind and politicos are working out strategy in a 'war room' bunker somewhere under Seoul.
I want to allay fears that we might be in danger. Certainly it is worrying news. And there is nothing to be taken lightly about bombing or violence of any kind. The Epp/Hamilton family, however is safe and life in Anyang seems unchanged. Joe and Naomi both went to school this morning, the hustle and bustle of life on the street goes on, people are doing business as usual.
Twenty years ago, when I was 13, I lived in Amman Jordan and our family was being asked the same questions about safety. Of course, that was the first Gulf War and a lot more serious and involved. Friends, pray for North and South Korea, a swift resolution, wisdom and caution for leaders and safety for the people of these nations.
