Gershom's Gleanings

Well, most of you have heard by now that I accepted a job offer teaching English in Korea for a year. For those who haven't (if any of you even read this blog, which I doubt) sorry to drop the bombshell on you through here. The countdown to departure is about t-minus 21 days and counting. For the next three weeks I'll be finishing up at Subway, filing paperwork, trying to gain a slight hold on basic Korean, and bidding adieu to friends, family, and acquaintances. If you're interested, you can follow my odyssey via this blog. I'll try to update at least once every couple of weeks. I'm sure there will be no shortage of fascinating tidbits, stories, and insights into both myself and the culture that I'm adapting myself to. You may have noticed that I've changed the blog name to reflect my new life. I chose this because 1) It's a corny name and that's just how I roll (haha) and 2) I think it is an apt description of what I'm going to feel like for the duration of my time in Korea. I'm hoping I'll be able to learn a great deal about the incarnation of Christ and how He fit Himself into our culture but without compromising His mission or His message. Anyway, that's the state of things now! Pray for me if you get a chance!
