One more picture for you...A couple of days ago we drove by the ancient site of the first McDonalds. This current structure now rises up above the ruins from the first century BC. There is archeological evidence of many cows being slaughtered here. they also found many stale buns and a couple of beef patties that had enough preservatives in them to still be edible. (Okay...maybe not...)
I just finished my final exam and have one more departure meeting before being officially done with my class by noon. Early Sunday morning I will fly out of Tel Aviv to meet Stacey, Erin and Brant in Zurich for a week of vacation in Switzerland. I probably won't provide posts from our vacation time (who wants to hear about someone else's vacation?). But on July 10, after one day at home, I will head south for the Civil Rights experience. Tune in then for more learning together.
Thank you so much for participating with me (reading, responding, encouraging, praying) on this learning experience. Your partnership and your prayers are a great encouragement to me!
I invite you to experience this sabbatical together with me. With this blog I share my experiences and will invite you to learn along with me. Join me in reading and reflecting together so we can learn together how to apply Jesus' radical teaching from the Beatitudes to our lives today.

Thank YOU, Pastor Tony, for generously sharing your learning experiences so they could benefit others day by day! Your excellent posts will be missed, but you deserve a break today (whose commercial was that?) and in the week to come. I can only imagine (whose song is that?) the joyous hugs you will generously share with your precious family in beautiful Switzerland!
