Ideas?

So if you haven't noticed already, (which I doubt anyone has!) I have put up a poll on the blog to find out about anything specific that you might like to read about.  The four options I posted were "Old Testament Notables" "Footsteps of Jesus" "Jerusalem" and "Galilee."  These are just four points of interest that came to mind, but if you have any burning questions that you want answered, by all means, ASK THEM!!

Anyway that is all I have to share.  This week I will be on Thanksgiving break and working on several projects including a part of my assignment for Israel which is map marking!  Oh so fun!  If I find out anything interesting in the process I will be sure to take note and let ya'll know! 

Until then,

Six Weeks and Counting!!

Yes its true.  I am six weeks away from taking off from JFK International Airport and heading for two weeks in Israel!  I am still just amazed to see how God has brought everything together to allow me to go on this trip and see Him in a new way.  Everyone I have talked to has given me high hopes and great expectations for this trip and I can't wait to get there!

So this blog...I plan on just giving you all updates (or at least the important ones) on what is happening before, during, and after the trip related to Israel.  Be on the lookout for pictures, thoughts, or whatever related to the trip.  It should be great, and I'll make this as interesting as possible!

One thing for anyone wondering..."what is up with the name of your blog?"  Credit goes to Gordon Lanpher for coming up with that.  I wanted something outrageous...and I got it...so ya...thanks Gordon.

Stay classy,
