At the Jesus Boat museum, and thinking of everyone. I had a moment with the internet here and wanted to say hello, even though I realize it's the middle of the night at home. Can't wait to post about Capernaum tonight. =)

Today we did a whole lot of travel in the countryside, and a whole lot of political study. I haven't had to change my breakfast habit since the beginning of the trip, though here I've added a little to it. A bowl of corn flakes, a lot of eggs (usually at least three or four) since I find myself constantly craving protein and they don't have any ( Read more... )

I woke up in the morning to the sound of birds and the feel of the sun on my face - we had our balcony door open. We packed, I had a shower in a place with more water pressure than we have in Canada and this is a desert... It was a little better music than the canned Muslim call to prayer we heard the evening before, drifting across the valley from ( Read more... )

The world is a narrow bridge
Do not be afraid to cross over

(Written April 1st, the first official day of the tour. I am currently in Tiberias, my first chance at the internet since Newark.)

I have no idea if there is any internet out here at all. I know there certainly isn't any in our hotel room, but trading the internet for the resort we're staying ( Read more... )

Food.

That's basically all I've been thinking about for the last little while.

Before I went on the trip, I ate bacon like every day. There's a longstanding joke among my friends that I could be Jewish if it weren't for the bacon, and it's a nearly accurate statement. But food had become a capital issue today, and I was willing to pay whatever it ( Read more... )

She sings hallelujah,
And falls to the ground again
With hands stretched up to the sky
She's waiting for the day...
We'll sing hallelujah,
When all has become nothing
And our hope in the Saviour
Has covered all we do, let it be for you

Time runs down, and at this moment my soul is lifted in excitement. My first flight leaves at 7:30 this evening. I am ( Read more... )

For if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith...
If the dead are not raised, "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die..." 
Since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man.
When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable,
and the mortal with immortality, then the ( Read more... )

I'm not sure if it would be possible for me to care less about the big LJ protest thing. I care about the basic accounts being gone, but it's not going to inconvenience me.

I debated about doing this, but I thought I'd do it just in case. If you're interested in donating Shekels for my trip to Israel or USD for my trip to New York, I would ( Read more... )

Sitting alone in New York City
And I don't know why, don't know why
So I walk up on high
And I step to the edge
To see my world below
And I laugh at myself
While the tears roll down
'Cause it's the world I know
It's the world I know

The last couple of days have been pretty full of homework and social time. Last night (Friday) I went out dancing and then to ( Read more... )
