The hour when the wind subsided, the landscape was painted on the river

like a canvas by using the technique called decalcomania.

Cherries and willows have bloomed while the ridges are putting arms around

each other’s shoulders.

Due to the Sewol ferry disaster, it was a heartbreaking time. Good news was

not heard at all. Nevertheless, the hopeful news has come.

This is the message that a friend wrote a student missing in the ship: “You are

evangelizing in the ship, aren’t you?”. It was reported that the missing student was

a board member of a high school youth group and he was trying to evangelize.

We who are left on the earth have to preach the gospel to neighbors out of

desperation.
