Travels: Greece and Israel 2009
Thursday, October 7th, 2010I had the opportunity to go over to Greece and Israel with Mars Hill Church last year as part of their production team. I shot a little video when I had time. This is what I put together....nothing too exciting, but here it is just the same. Greece: Northern Israel: Jerusalem ...
Las Vegas – MS SharePoint Conference – October 18-22
Friday, November 6th, 2009A lot of the work I do is associated with a product from Microsoft called SharePoint. It's a web based product designed for content management. It's also a lot of other things too. I have been to a few technical conferences now, and I have to say, ...
Day 14 – Old City, Holocaust Museum, Regency Hotel and Home At Last…
Saturday, October 3rd, 2009I rolled out of bed feeling much better than the previous morning, but definitely not 100%. I ate breakfast down at the buffet, and as I was making my way back I struck up a conversation with some of the other people from our tour. It turned out ...
Day 13 – Regency Hotel Jerusalem
Saturday, October 3rd, 2009I spent the previous evening feeling like I was going to die. Well, not that bad, but pretty much the worst diarrhea I had ever had in my life that I can remember. Man do I hate kosher food. I woke up feeling like my stomach had ...
Day 12 – Garden of Gethsemane, Golgotha, Solomon’s Quarries, Old City, Southern Steps
Saturday, October 3rd, 2009Day 12 was a jam packed day. It was also the day I got to experience the common side effects to middle eastern food. Fortunately that was not until the end of the day. The morning began with a stop at the Garden of Gethsemane. The "garden" really ...
Day 11 – Mt. of Olives, Garden Tomb, Convent of the Ascension, Bethlehem
Thursday, October 1st, 2009For some reason I am finding these last few days of the trip somewhat difficult to write up. The reason is that I have been quite distracted with a myriad of other things that are more demanding than this blog, but I want to get my thoughts down before ...
Day 10 – Peter’s Primacy, Kursi (Gergesa), the desert, Jerusalem
Thursday, September 17th, 2009I realize I've totally fell off the wagon in terms of finishing out these posts. By now I am well back in the states and back into the day to day. I thought I would go ahead and try to finish this up as best I can, while ...
Day 9 – Mt. Of Beatitudes, Caperneaum, Jordan River
Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009As I write this post, I am on the tail end of my trip. I've gotten the all too common travelers sickness, and the past few days are one big blur of events that just seem to run together. It has been a long exhausting trip, and I am ready ...
Day 8 – Mt. Hermon and Nazareth
Monday, August 31st, 2009It felt incredible to sleep. I think I slept 10 hours straight, which is something that does not occur to frequently since I finished college. Breakfast was once again at the hotel buffet, and about the same fare as to be expected. The one thing I don't like about kosher ...
