THE JOURNEY BEGAN IN NOV. '06 WITH MY FIRST TRIP TO ISRAEL AND PALESTINE. I have returned seven times since. I will leave on November 13th for my 9th entry into Israel. I also included my experiences in 2008 as a commissioner to the 2008 General Assembly, PCUSA. l attended the International Sabeel Conference in Jerusalem in Nov. 2013, and continued my listening ministry and of course, work with the Nassar family with visits to Kibbutz Metzer and the Village of Maiser.

Tomorrow I leave with your blessings. I go, not out of any sense of nobleness, but with humility, as I seek to express my faith, and find hope with people who struggle in the midst of despair to bring about peace with justice for all. I go to seek ways in which I can share my experience with my faith community and friends at home. I go to seek ways to partner with persons there and at home. And finally, I go for adventure of the kind that have blessed me since my days with Peace Corps, and beyond, and have continued to freshen my life in new and exciting ways.
