BVC in Israel: Walk of life
http://mpbisrael.blogspot.com/2009/06/walk-of-life.html
Tuesday, June 9, 2009. Last week a group of children from Bethlehem came and stayed for about a week. This was a fascinating group: their supervisor was an older blind woman, the children themselves varied in disabilities from blindness to developmental issues, the children and their leader were extremely outgoing. Whenever we were working in the vicinity of them the children would always walk over and watch us or ask questions. They were a special group of kids. June 11, 2009 at 5:05 AM.

Monday, September 29, 2008. Tabgha.Jerusalem.Dead Sea and back. Reading the newspaper in the Dead Sea (the water is way over my head but you cannot sink even if you try). Me and the view we ate supper to (imagine it a little darker with the lights to houses and shops glowing). On the roof at Dormition Abbey, notice my monster verticle (I realize Leither is higher but he's an All-American). Dead Sea with Jordan in the background. Dawn at the Dead Sea looking at Jordan. Me atop Ein Gedi mts. His wife (he w...

Sunday, August 31, 2008. As promised last week, here are some pictures from the day after the jubilee.

Notice the head table with our MN guests) glad i wasn't up there with every in the whole room watching me eat :). Links to this post.

Saturday, December 27, 2008. Frau Reuter, Me, Martin, Thomas w/ Ayla, Fr. Basilius w/ Jack, ML w/ George, Johannes w/ Garfield. It is hard to get into the Christmas mindset without snow. As beautiful and green as it is here, the line rings true, you don’t know what you’ve got till its gone. We had a lot of rain in the days leading up to Christmas morning which is a blessing in this country. We need more, I might bust out my rain dance soon. Kind of hard to get everyone on the same page. I long-armed this...
