Here in Egypt...

so, i have a few minutes to update the public with my current position on the planet and to tell a short story...



i am here in giza egypt having a great time. aside from the extreme smog and past few days of 45 degree temperatures, i have no complaints. i am very happy to inform that many things are coming to light in the situation here in egypt. people are so happy here right now due to Ramadan, islamic holy month...

The food is great, i am great, laila is great, mohammed is great, life is great...

God is Great...

Less than a day till my travels begin...!

I cannot wait for this upcoming trip. I am going to Cairo tomorrow via Rome Italy. I only have a week for travel, but this trip I hope and pray is going to very rewarding...

So many things are to be discovered and explored. I know that I am going to learn new things and meet new people and make new friends and make old friends all the better...

I guess that right now, the thing that I am looking forward to the most is the absolutely amazing smell of Cairo! Some may think is invasive, but I find it to be quite comforting and exhilarating at the same time... and just to think all this feeling is to come from only one sense of the human body. I have heard that smell is the strongest sense of a human... I don't know for sure though... I guess it does spark lots of memories...

Well, I must be off now. I have preparations to attend to and packing to finish... Oh and by the way for that person that is living up in the more northern part of the world, "Don't worry, I will make sure that the bananas and mangos and chai are all in order for your arrival..." Oh, and also don't be too envious of my arrival two whole days before your own! LOL

Until next time, Good Luck and Good Night...

Upcoming Events...

Once again, I am preparing myself for another trip to the ancient land of history and culture. A place that is very dear to my heart, a place in which I feel so connected that even though the distance of over 6,000 miles is very real, I feel as though I am right there with the little "Nura" whom I hold so dearly, or the mother who is feeling pain due to what life has given her, or might I say taken away.

But this is only something that I feel, and I constantly ask myself, "how much more is there?" "How many more feelings are there?" One can only imagine, (and then I find it hard to fathom) how many lives are "going on" in the world. How many stories, pains, joy's, and lives there are in this expansive world. But all that I can do is to live my life to it's fullest potential and seek that in which God has given me to pursue. I feel as though I will never stop the draw upon my life to meet new people and visit new places... Just the thought of it makes me excited....

So here I go again, down to the river that flows north, and to where the feet of Moses and Jesus have walked, and now, where the feet of such a wretch as myself have the honor to tread...

I will partake on my travel with a different feeling than ever before, not only as a traveler, but as a explorer eager to learn new things and bridge gaps in societies that were never thought crossable...

Will there ever be enough time?

Wow! How the days fly by. It has been over a month since my last post, and so much has happened within these past few moments. I have begun to allow myself to wander into deep thought on the subject of how much there really is and have not even began to scratch the surface. I know that God has created this world in His majesty, yet I can't even comprehend the amount of information within 100 miles of my home, much less the entire rest of the world...

If only there were more time... More could be accomplished; but the more that I think about this, the more that I realize, that I would only fill up this time as well and have no time once again to do that which I do not have time for...

Oh well, this is what I have been given and the only thing that I have, is to decide what to do with the time that has been given to me...
