Peacin' out, for now
Well, I'm headed out for the next 10 days or so, helping with the young adult conference at Sabeel. So you probably won't get any updates for a little while. If you can believe it, I'm the "chaplain" for the conference, which I think might require some sort of emotional put-togetheredness not evidenced either in my recent mindset or my last post. Sorry about the rant. Meant most if not all of it, though.
Anyway, will be helping to guide about 25 internationals and 15 locals around Palestine and Israel, teaching them about the history of 1948 from the Palestinian perspective, showing them demolished/depopulated villages, little pieces of the occupation, and hopefully, some dancing and some laughter and some hope for a future with justice as well.
Until then, keep struggling the good struggling, all you crazy bloggin' fools.
Justice, peace, liberation, and all that jazz!

"The Chaplain"
As for being a chaplain and "having it together;" I never read the quote where Jesus says: "if you want to serve, have it together man!"
My personal feeling is that pastors who "have it together" have caused much slumbering in the pews, and generally fooled only themselves.
If we can shorten chaplain to chap, we can still call you "the new chap" right?
