after reading my friend zach's recent post about easter, i thought i would copy something, and post a photo of "the stations of the cross" in the church of the holy sepulchre in Jerusalem. One year ago, on easter (although not one year ago, in terms of time), I arrived in the holy city for my 3 week middle eastern extravaganza. that 3 weeks ended up being more than amazing. and, being in the Holy Land, close to easter (even though i wasn't there for a service, b/c i arrived in the evening) was really impacting.


I think, to anyone who has ever been to the middle east, they would say that it is impacting.

I got to syracuse at about 6pm on friday, and meet Kelly Covert , her husband (also kelly covert!) and boys Noah and Ryan. It was a fantastic place to stay, and we indeed, talked! it was great :) after a solid sleep on friday night, I was able t...
