November 21, 2009 - Signing off  

     I am sitting in the Library at St. George's College (the only place I have been able to get internet access these 3 weeks).  The sun has set on our last day in Jerusalem.  In a couple of hours we will head to the airport in Tel Aviv, where we have a flight back to the United States at 12:40 am tomorrow morning!

    We are looking forward to being back in the United States, for many reasons.  This has been an incredible experience these three months.  I am ready to be back with you.  We will go to North Carolina to re-connect with my family for Thanksgiving, then head to Florida to spend a few days with Susan's family.  We are looking forward to "re-entry" at St. Paul's on December 6th.  We have had many worship experiences these last months, but nobody does it like St. Paul's does it.  

     I will not be blogging anymore.  It has been a good discipline for me, and I hope that you who have been following us around have had some sense of what we've been up to.    Thanks to all of you who have made this possible, especially the staff and Vestry who, I trust have kept things in good order, since they and Susan have made sure that I have stayed "out of the loop" on absolutely everything.

Peace, and God's Blessing on all of you.
