Good morning.  I arrived home last night after hours and hours of travel and more security checks than I care to remember.  I barely made it out of O'Hare last night due to the storm.  Although I made it home my suitcase was not so lucky.  So I am on my way back to the airport this morning to claim it.

My head is swimming from this experience.  I have 1,300 pictures to organize and I will post some of them here today.  Please check back later for that.  I kept a very detailed journal which I plan to share in some ways as well.

Before I left people would comment that this trip would be life changing, the time of my life...I agree with that.  I am trying to sort out what that means exactly.  I know that thanks to the places I walked, the historical and biblical sights I saw and experienced, and the people I had the pleasure of talking with...the scriptures are opening up in different and remarkable ways.  I feel very blessed to have had this opportunity at this particular time in my seminary experience. 

Dad is planning a trip to Israel in 2013 and I plan to be the first to sign up.  I need to go back!

Thanks to you all for reading, commenting and especially for praying for this trip.

Shalom,
Ang
