Israel 2010 Day 5- First Shabbat
Today we woke up super early for breakfast at "The Bean." Then, Dr. Davis decided to get us lost on our way to our lecture and walked for about 45 minutes to the place we had to go. Once the great philosopher made some phone calls, we made our way to a beautiful...
Israel Day 4- Epic Free Day!
Wow! Today was pretty amazing! We had a free day today and toured the city with our incredible picture taking skills and directional abilities. We went to shop at a lot of different places and had a lot of laughs. My favorite part of the day was building...
Israel Day 3- Rockefeller Museum, Knesset, and the Shook
Today was a very drawn out, "information overload," type of day. It was another early morning for me--that is, 7 am. For some reason I keep waking up at that time, but it lets me get the most out of my time here. The first thing we did was go to The Coffee Bean (aka...
The Beauty of Creator God
Moving Decisions
8:30am came quickly as I woke up and couldn’t remember what day it was. I was so confused that I actually looked at my phones calendar to see what day it was. Needless to say, I hit the snooze button a couple more times and finally began my morning routine. This...
Israel 2010- Day 2 (David’s Tower, Western Wall)

The Vatican- June 14, 2012
After a couple failed attempts the day before and some extensive planning, Josh and I finally had to come to terms with the complicated fact of walking to the Vatican city, which was about an hour from our hotel. Our tour was at 7:45am, which meant we had to be there...

Day 1- Caeserea Maritima, Mt Carmel, Megiddo- Sunday June 17, 2012 For the video click here Dr. Davis told us to be ready by 8:00am sharp to leave for our first day tour. If you can remember my last trip, our flight got delayed, and some people had to leave several...
Colosseum Tour- June 13, 2012
Colosseum Tour: June 13, 2012 Being jet-lagged has its advantages when you can’t fall asleep after waking up at 4am and then realize you can get a good sunrise shot of the Colosseum. That’s the first thing I did Wednesday morning and it was breathtaking. I was...
Rome Wasn’t Built in a Day
It has been said that Rome wasn’t built in a day. That may be true, but they certainly didn’t put the time or effort into making the glorious city an easy walk. Josh and I arrived at Fiumicino Airport around 9:40 am (3:40am EST) and had about a 9 hour flight. Boarding...
The Marriage of Reality and Dreams
Portrayed by the endless sight of lonely images, a thought crosses the mind of eternal being. Was this the life I chose? Is this the life I chose? Plagued by a disaster of unwanted memories, of unwanted feelings, the divorce of reality and dreams cry brokenness....
