I love this piece of pottery. Sorry for my indulgence for posting it. There are so many more interesting and magnificent things to post from Israel! But we are consumed with getting settled and really haven’t done anything much but that! We still don’t have Internet. The wheels of progress turn oh so slowly. It…

We are getting a bird’s-eye view of Jerusalem.

Life is still upside down…
Disney Land and the Rest of the World…
Wayne and I are very morning people. Just as soon as the sun peeks its shining face along the horizon, we are up and yes, cheerful. Very cheerful. It is unusual for two people in the bond of marriage to BOTH love morning… to both be cheerful in the early hours… That has been a…
On the Cusp of Eternity
We have spent the last couple of days purchasing furniture and in general getting settled. It has been wild and woolly. But the good news is that we have made great progress. The process will continue for a few more weeks. I guess because we came from hot, hot Texas the weather here has been…

I am Dreaming About Eating…
Vendors line the Old City walls just inside the gates of Jerusalem. I am dreaming about eating one of these soon… begalah… fresh bread with sesame seeds on top. You dip them in hyssop. Tasty. Amazing. Satisfying. Is your mouth watering yet? How about now? Now?
Vertigo
I took this photo in Jerusalem on our visit last spring. It is the best word that describes my life right now. Along with packing for Israel, we are renting our house for one year to dear friends. So… we have been preparing a clean and welcome living space for our renters as well. This…
Things to Take to Zion…
Suitcases, trash bags, clothes, and bubble wrap everywhere… We are packing and storing and packing and squeezing… how will we ever fit all the important essentials to begin our new life in Israel into six suitcases? I have pulled and pushed, added and deleted… and deleted some more… and added again… And I still have…
Still in the Glow…
Well, we are home now but still in the glow of Guatemala. Images of the beautiful people, colorful culture, and wonderful food are dancing in our minds. I wish I had more time now to reflect and savor the memories, but I just don’t. We leave for three months in Israel/Ethiopia in less than two…
