I can't believe I'm blogging...

...Thus begins the inside life of yet another person - friend, sister, daughter, muso (I love that word), lover of God, lover of life, runner, worshipper - who sits randomly around the world in Jerusalem, Israel and has joined the ranks of those who also sit somewhere and think and ponder and then write...How exciting.

Un-inspiration

So I haven't blogged because I haven't had anything too interesting to write about - I need a muse, as they say, or something...BUT I have been keeping busy...

Lets me think what I've been up to: Yesterday morning, I spoke at a church on Israel, officially for the first time. How weird is that?? I always thought I would never do something like that, only because there are people who know SO much more than me about it, so what can I say. But I realized, lots of people HERE don't know much about Israel and only know what they see on the news, which we all know is pretty much one-sided and always showing explosions or something. Anyway, it was nice to get a chance to explain to people some things about living over there...

Tonight and for the past few Monday nights, I've also been driving into Manhattan for this great bible study. Actually one of Lance Lambert's very own home-boys hooked me up with the contact, Dana Congdon, a friend of theirs who lives in NYC. All these people belong to a chinese church in Flushing NY that Lance speaks at from time to time.... the bible study (BS) is in Greenwich Village which is a very cool area of the city - and the BS has been a great blessing....

Ummm on Wednesday nights I've been going with my good friend Margo to another BS in Queens...GEES i'm just full of BS aren't I!! HAhahaha...This one I've been doing a little worship at for the past few weeks and wound up just leaving my big purple keyboard at their apt instead of schlepping it back and forth. YES I do own a big purple keyboard and it's awesome.

Speaking of Margo, our favorite quote is "Why's the carpet all wet Todd?.... I-don't-know-Mar-go!" from Chevy Chase's Xmas vacation. Me and Margo have been having a great time - we always have these 'adventures' we call them when one of us is driving and we are on a mission going somewhere...something always happens. It started a long time ago when I first got my license, and was driving us 2 home from yet another BS in the family's LARGE 1986 Pontiac and got pulled over because I raced to get off an exit I thought I was going to miss and cut off a cop .... who immediately put his lights on and followed me but the exit-ramp kept winding around a turn and I wasn't sure if I should actually pull over right away or wait and get off the exit...until by the 3rd time the cops voice echoed..."Pull Over NOW." HA...He let me go anyway...but we always laugh about that.

And what I can write is that I do have a return date (finally) to good old Jerusalem. Can you believe? 3 months at home already and it's over just like that.

OH and my cats are so cute. I should blog about them sometime.

Okay. . . so I am a little late with the comments! Of course I remember the demon possessed shopping cart! That was straight out of a movie. haha. . .good times!!! Those WERE good times. . . Tony's first trip to the U.S. Do you remember how much you accomplished during that trip? I just remember going shopping every day for almost 2 weeks straight and eating in the city! Tony, you should feel privileged that Nicole and the fam. are such awesome planners!
Okay, I never commented on Emily's actual blog. hehe. Emily and I are the queens of driving adventures. . . even to this day, it never stops. Not to mention, we relate everything to SNL or movies-always quoting lines on the spot. As I reflect on her recent trip back home, I LOL because every time we hung out, we were constantly laughing about something and meeting hilarious people. Anyway, i better stop this blog before it becomes my own! (Sorry,but I bet the email stalker will love this!)Peace out! P.S. some trivia. . . so who knows why the carpet was actually all wet? Todd? Peter?
