In returning and rest

I've been back from Lebanon for a while now.  Several times in Beirut I tried to update the blog with photos, at least, but the internet was so slow.  I waited one hour once only to have my session timed out.

I moved into a house with one roommate.  I'm planning the trip back to Beirut in early January and praying for political peace and stability to hold tight until the trip is over, at least.  I'm not as worried about going myself.  But when my job turns from thinking about my own safety to the safety of 10 other people, it becomes a different story, a story that involves worried parents.

I'm learning what it means to do my job with excellence, how to live in community, and what it means to "return and rest."  I'll let you know how that goes.
