Kimchi, not for me

Okay, I'm back. Yes, Peter's in China. (He said I could say that.) And Freezer, he doesn't email anyone - so don't feel bad. (We actually had a conversation at the airport as I was leaving about his inability to communicate via email.) I was in China for five days, with Peter for four, and in Beijing for about half a day. Pictures are below. I'm not sure if the page is loading strangely only on my computer, but there are quite a few, and if they don't all show up, just click on the August 2005 archives link and they'll all come up.

So my vacation. In five sentences or less: Relaxing, refreshing, necessary, facilitated recuperation. (That only counts as one as this parenthesis counts for nothing.) Pete and I had a lot of really amazing and deep conversations, about spiritual things, about living overseas, and much more. That was one of the best parts. The other best part was how it opened my eyes further to the spiritual darkness that exists in the world outside the Bible Belt. I had an amazing time, and I want to go back.

I realized today that I've been blogging for over a year now - this blog combined with the L'Chaim blog from Israel. More than a year....I won't wax eloquent about it, but I will say that while I may be as wordy as I was then, it's wordiness coming from a very different heart and attitude.
