While I couldn't be more thankful that God dropped this consulting job in my lap, I can't believe how much I feel removed from my "real" life. I'm working 10-12 hours a day trying to complete the project and toss up a prayer of gratitude every time I think about it since my tour funds were running quite low -- but it's weird not to have more than five minutes to toss out a quick post! Let alone the fact that I'm not responding to e-mail or keeping up on the news or recording any podcast episodes and etc. ;)

I guess that means I'll be composing a long catch-up post over the weekend! And remember, starting next Wednesday I'll be heading out on my tour of Israel, Jordan, Egypt and the unnamed other country. My plan is to post a little about what I've seen each day, so it'll be pretty much like the norm in format -- but the content should be a little different than you're used to. :p
