Welcome

It is already 2010 as I write this, and I wonder whether I will ever stop thinking about this trip and the impact that it made to walk where Jesus walked, to smell the land, swim in the lake, get hot and dusty; to praise and worship in a strange yet familiar land; experience at a visceral level, this land that is still in turmoil, with people who do not think as Westerners think, and who we have to work so hard to understand. It was a disturbing journey, of some sadness and much hope, but one that also helped me to draw closer to God.
