Casting Crowns was amazing!!!  I was not a fan before Monday night...but now I am.  The LORD is amazing.  It was such a blessing to be able to go.

I went to Penn. over the weekend to visit my family with my father.  There is a restaurant there named P.O. Lunch.  They have the most amazing chile dogs in the world.  I always eat a lot of them when I am there.  It was kinda hard for my family in Penn, it was the first Thanksgiving without my uncle, who died in April from lung cancer.  Please pray for them.

 So I am going to New York for a few days in December with a few friends (some of you still owe me money by the way).  I am going to see Dave Matthews Band on Fri and Sat night when I am there at Madison Square Garden.  I am so pumped!!!  That's all.....nothing really exciting...I did see family I haven't seen in a long time tonight....so that's cool.

So I was thinking that with with text messaging and xanga personal, face to face conversation was going out the window.  I think it's sad that people don't talk.  So in an effort to stop this I am going to try something.  Here is my cell phone number:

937-925-2323

Call me anytime for a few minute conversation about our days.  Even if we don't know each other that well it would be great to talk to you.  Many blessing...........peace

So tonight at work I was given the opportunity to remove my manager's stitches.  He recently had and accident with his finger.  The entire process lasted under 10 minutes; three minutes to decide we were going to do it, three minutes of prep time, and three minutes for the operation.  As you can see from the photo, I was well prepared.

Luckily, the cinema takes health care very important so all of the equipment was on hand.  The process was grueling, as you can see...

So I have really missed Israel in the last few weeks.  I miss the everyday things you do, the same people you see in the shops, and the beautiful landscape that surrounds you there.  So I thought I would share some pics from my trip.

A twenty minute walk from my house.  This is a common picture taken from the Mount of Olives.  I would spend some late nights here praying.

This is a view to the East right outside my house.  Those trees you see are olive trees (this view is from the Mount of Olives.  There is a great sunrise there.

This is the Mount of Olives.  The picture is taken from the east side of the temple mount.  The church on the bottom left is the Garden of Gethsemane.  The small gray church on the top left is the church that is build on the place where Jesus wept over Jerusalem.

This is the wall that the Israeli government is building around the entire West Bank.  It is the sign of all the problems the land is going through.  This side is Jerusalem...the other is Bethlehem.

Bethlehem

Western (Wailing) Wall

Please pray for the place.  It is a beautiful land with wonderful people who really need to know the love of Jesus.  It is my second home.
