Living His Life

My name is John David Eun, and I'm a Korean-American student at Davidson College, located 20 minutes north of Charlotte, NC. Whenever I can, I share my reflections, opinions, and worldview based on my Christian faith and occasionally discuss political, economic, and sociocultural issues related to Christianity. I am particularly interested in studying the intersection of faith, health, and fatherhood. I also like sports, off-beat stuff, and design.

The man of our time is losing the power of celebration. Instead of celebrating, he seeks to be amused or entertained. Celebration is an active state, an act of expressing reverence or appreciation. Celebration is a confrontation, giving attention to the transcendent meaning of one’s actions.
