Sarah tells the story very well here (and yes, it appears she may be blogging again…), but we are in La Misión, Mexico right now. We came down at the invitation of our friend Erin, who we got to know better at GA last week in San Jose. We’ve basically been spending the days reading, [...]

We are just over half-way done with our roadtrip. It’s been good so far, but instead of trying to do this in a narrative form – how about some bullet points?
First night was in Rochester with Sarah’s parents. When I tried to update our new TomTom One 130, it broke. So, I was up trying [...]

I’m sitting in a near-empty apartment and pretty exhausted after a full day of packing and cleaning. One nice surprise for us today was an even lower cost for the Penske truck. We went to pick it up this morning and they had no record of our reservation – our confirmation number didn’t pull anything [...]

Many of you probably know this, but I spent the summer of 2005 in Egypt, Palestine and Israel. During that time, I kept a pretty active blog about my experience, but it was separate from pomomusings. I’ve recently imported in all of those entries and fixed all the photos. If you’re into browsing archives, these [...]

I pulled into Princeton Theological Seminary at around 3.00am last night – it was a pretty long drive, not to mention being stuck here DC traffic for about an hour or two (the picture above was taken then). It was absolutely horrible stop-and-go traffic, and my left foot just started hurting from the clutch (this [...]

By the amount of stuff I brought, you’d think i was staying for…well, a really long time. It really is pretty pathetic, but…you know how it is, you drive somewhere, so you just keep throwing more and more stuff into your car.
But alas, it’s all mine (and more clothes and another bag or two you [...]

I was just checking the news last night and saw that there was an Israeli soldier who shot dead four people on a bus in an Israeli Arab town; and he was then killed by the people of the town. And all of this took place in Shfaram (BBC news clip here). A town I [...]

[A friend of mine who was in Bethlehem with me had the chance to go to the Gaza Strip for a few days, and I asked him if I could put his account of his time there on this blog. He said yes, and if you have any questions for him, as he mentions at [...]

As I’ve been approaching the time to go home, and feeling excited but also apprehensive as to how to share my experience with friends and people at churches, I was looking forward to meeting with Abuna (Father) Elias Chacour (click here for another bio) last week. Abuna (as everyone refers to him in I’billin) actually [...]

As you are reading this, I am *hopefuly* in an airplane leaving Ben Gurion International Airport (I say *hopefully* because as anyone knows, the Israelis could easily detain me for questioning if they detect any problems with any of the answers I give them when I go through the Security Check line at the airport).

I’m now sitting in the Tel Aviv terminal (on FREE wireless – I gotta give the Israelis some credit), waiting my boarding in 30 minutes. I made it through security with little to no problems. The first girl started asking me questions and then I realized, “Oh shit, this is the ’security interview’ and I [...]

I arrived in Tel Aviv earlier today and took a taxi then to Jaffa, where my “guest house” is – Beit Immanuel Guest House. The guesthouse is a pretty interesting place – it’s staffed (I’m pretty sure) primarily by Messianic Jews. Too bad I’m not going to be here for their Friday evening worship service, [...]
