명기(名器)를 다듬으시는 하나님의 손길

Posted on March 25, 2026 by TaeHun Yoon 윤 태헌 尹 太憲

올해 74세로 평생을 처녀로 살아온 Gloria Perkins는 바이올린 연주자이며, 저희 가정의 오랜 친구 중에 한분입니다. 세상풍조에 전혀 때묻지 않은, 순전한 그녀의 영혼은 바이올린의 잘 다듬어진 선율만큼이나 아름다운 분입니다. 선생님은 평소에 젊은이들이 락뮤직에 빠져 그 아름다운 바하, 베토벤, 모짜르트등의 고전음악을 접해보지 … Continue reading →

옛집 이야기

Posted on March 24, 2026 by TaeHun Yoon 윤 태헌 尹 太憲

얼마 전에 아이들과 함께 식탁에 앉아 식사를 하다가 옛 목사관에 대한 이야기를 나누며 즐거운 시간을 잠시 보내게 되었습니다. 저희 아이들 셋이 10살, 4살, 1살로서 한창 어리던 시절에 뉴욕의 퀸즈 빌리지에 있던 200여년이 족히 넘었던 목사관으로 이사를 하게 되었었습니다. 그 목사관은 … Continue reading →

The rails curve out of sight,and I can’t say where they leador where I stand along them. It seems everything has cometo a kind of waiting. The old quarrels, the hurrythat once carried me forward,have grown still—like a field at … Continue reading →

베드로의 통곡

Posted on March 23, 2026 by TaeHun Yoon 윤 태헌 尹 太憲

Peter’s Lament

Posted on March 23, 2026 by TaeHun Yoon 윤 태헌 尹 太憲

Before the rooster crowed at dawn, “I do not know Him!” “I do not know Him!” “I do not know Him!” And when I turned away—cursing and denying You before the servant girl’s accusation— I met Your sorrowful eyes. Lord, … Continue reading →

Spirit

Posted on March 22, 2026 by TaeHun Yoon 윤 태헌 尹 太憲

Within the ice—clear as judgment,unforgiving as truth—I stand uncovered before You, clothed in garmentsnot woven by my own hands,borrowed gloriesthat fall awayin the light of Your seeing. The tongues I once forgotreturn now as witness—fragments of a lost covenant,echoes of … Continue reading →

지난 주간에 하드포드(Hartford, Conn)서 열렸던 미연합 감리교 동북부 지역 4년차 여선교 대회에 다녀오게 되었습니다. “선교의 문을 엽시다(Open the Door for Mission)”라는 주제아래, 개체교회를 대표한 1,500여명의 여성들이 여선교회란 조직을 통한 헌금으로 세계곳곳에 선교사를 보내어 선교활동을 한, 그동안의 사역보고와 함께 축하 하는 … Continue reading →
