Do you remember having to buy a long distance card to call someone on the phone - and when/if they picked up, both of you being so happy, and simultaneously feeling both a sense of closeness in their voice and a deep longing to see and sense them more clearly? I miss that.

All North Korean self-reflection & testimony has overt hellfire Protestant overtones, the self-flagellating, 'I've sinned', Kim/God's infinite grace & mercy, etc. When you listen to old NK news broadcasts their trembling tones sound like South Korean Presbyterian ministers.…
