I was talking to a friend last night, who asked what to do with her life. She and I have known each other a very long time, and she’s likely the most gracious and kind person I know. Infinite potential to do good. The only answer I could think of her to do was, “The best.”

I read an article today from National Geographic about North Koreans fleeing their country, often from situations where there is nothing to eat but grass or tree bark, and escaping north, over the river, and then having to make an incredibly dangerous trek all the way across China, escaping to the south and out of China where they’ll be able to be taken to South Korea as refugees.

The story is intense. The conditions being left behind, and even the difficulty of adjusting to a life of freedom… It’s intriguing, but more than that, it’s something most people will never see. Again, the article is HERE and I can’t recommend enough that you read it.
