Greeted by the sun pouring into our stone-walled room this morning, I awoke with much expectancy for the trip ahead to Tyre and Sidon. However, after beginning to get ready, something diverted my plan slightly - the feeling perhaps akin to a circus troupe of miniature acrobats performing some remarkable tricks in my belly - [...]
Beirut – January 11, 2011
The boys were hard at work all day on the studio, and as of tonight, it is nearly finished!!! It has been such a great process getting to witness a studio being built from nothing but a bare white walled room. Once all of the wires were connected, John Walters christened the room as he [...]
Syria/Lebanon – January 10, 2011
Today, we made the trek back to Syria. However, before we left, we did get to stop at a few more sites including the place where scholars believe that Paul escaped the city of Damascas by being lowered in a basket through the wall. After having a good dinner once we arrived 'home' at the [...]
Syria – January 9, 2011
Today has been my favorite day to date on this trip. And yet I embraced it having woken up on the wrong side of the bed! I have no fear with keeping it real on here - and I will be honest that I felt like a complete Debbie Downer this morning. You know those [...]
Syria – January 8, 2011
We headed to Syria as the sun was rising over Beirut. Not knowing how long the journey would take or exactly what we would be doing once we arrived, our team was content with allowing flexibility to be the name of the game. But nonetheless, we were excited to visit Damascas and our other destinations [...]
Beirut – January 6-7, 2011
Our first couple of days in Beirut proved to be just what we needed to get fully acclimated and prepared for the rest of our trip. I am always expectant upon entering a new place and eager to allow my senses to be bathed in the unique rhythm of that particular city/country. Traveling has always [...]
Paris – January 5, 2011
After 10 hours of sleep, I woke up quite refreshed with very little remnants of jet lag thankfully. And I guess watching the sun rise over the city helped me arise with an extra skip in my step as well... We began the day at a different little cafe with an excellent breakfast, then headed [...]
Paris – January 4, 2011
We landed at 6am and powered through the whole day to take advantage of our short stay in Paris. Beginning with breakfast at a cafe across from our hotel, I managed to slip into the small cathedral across from the hotel with Nathanael while the others were exchanging money - and we happened to be [...]
flight to Paris – January 3, 2011
(I am heading to Paris, Beirut, and Syria on a trip with CBH, Christians Broadcasting Hope, and I am hoping to blog as much as possible while traveling. I will try to include most of the experiences we encounter, although many personal reflections will probably creep in as well, but I hope you enjoy! Also, [...]
