Well, Ash Wednesday is over, and now
the trip is really at the top of my agenda. I have a cold. Sigh.
Honestly, I’m so excited and overwhelmed. I’ve heard of people who go to
the Holy Land and have a psychotic break, who find themselves so deeply in the
Biblical story that they can’t find their way out. I don’t think it will
happen to me, but I can understand how it does. But I also have current
connections there, and they keep me grounded. I have four friends in
Israel from a leadership school I’m a part of, and one of our Newark ACTS
interns from last year is in Bethlehem this year, so I’m looking forward to
seeing all of them. I follow a group of Israeli feminist activists on
line, and want to see their work up close. I want it all – the
Bible, and the current realities. I know this will be an amazing
adventure.
