02.12.10Stirring-A Change is Coming? How do you know if things are about to change?How do you know if things are about to change? It may not seem better or necessarily bigger but you know it is a significant shift that could dramatically alter the state of your being, the state of your comfort, and a state of what some would consider "success." It's a place he may be taking you that is not necessarily desired in terms of geography or culture but one craves because you know you'll meet God there. Oh, not that you can't meet him where you are. You can. But it's more about knowing that He is calling you to ...

01.27.10DAY 8: WALLS, HEALING, GARDENS and the ROCKCan't believe this alternative journey to the Holy Land is almost over.

01.23.10Beautiful–DAY FOUR in EphraimToday things turned for me. Think I was a bit overwhelmed by all the oppression and darkness of this "open prison." I don't know what it's like to be under such restricted movement as the people we've been meeting. However, today experienced beauty and joy through a priest in Ephraim and a brilliant elderly woman named Jean, who could easily be prime minister of a country. The priest burst with joy as he spoke about the parables, his life work among the poor, his social innovations to help bring life to his community of the marginalized. Two things he said to me that ...
