7/26- A Short Note

Admittedly, I don’t have much to write about concerning this week. It had a slower rhythm to it since the weekend was packed and didn’t allow for much rest. Things of note: good food eaten. The Bean’s were all going to be out Wednesday evening, so I saw my opportunity to eat at a local…

6/26- A Sweet Reunion

Monday evening was the first barracks Bible study of the new year! We met in one of the Navy barracks on JBAB and walked through one of Jesus’ parables! The highlight of the week was certainly the weekend. Every year, different Nav ministries gather in New York for a conference on MLK weekend to spend…

5/13- Car Troubles…Again

Yes, it’s true. The ever-existent car problems have struck again. The Jeep is in the shop and time will tell just what is going down and how costly it will be to fix. It’s rough to once again be in this position, after having spent the last year in and out of shops with constant…

4/13- NYE in NYC

Monday, several peeps from Rusty’s side of the family came in for the week! Tuesday, the Bean’s, the extended Bean’s, and I all went to Enchant, which was a Christmas light maze! Looking at Christmas lights is one of my favorite activities during Christmas time, so I really enjoyed myself! The displays were beautiful, but…

3/13- An Unexpected Christmas

It’s the week of Christmas! Woo hoo! Wednesday was a pretty rough one at work. Nothing seemed to be going right, but a break in the clouds came at lunchtime! Anyone remember my roommate, Mia, from NC? She was driving through the area and stopped for lunch with me during my break! It was so…

2/13- Festivities Galore!

Tuesday morning started early. Rusty and I headed over to JBAB before work to get me a visitor pass to get on base. We got done early enough that I had time to stop by the only breakfast joint that was open: IHOP. I got some food in me and my Bible reading in before…

1/13- DMV…Round 3!

I can’t believe I’m back in one of my favorite areas: the DMV (Distict of Columbia/Maryland/Virginia, NOT the Department of Motor Vehicles)! This place holds a special place in my heart, but I have loved how each time I have taken a contract here, my time has looked different! One way this go round differs…

11/9- Beit Shean and Departure

On our last day, we went to Mount Arbel and sat on what is called the Cliffs of Arbel. Besides being a beautiful view, we could also get an aerial view of Magdala, Capernaum, and the Mount of Beatitudes, where the Sermon on the Mount is believed to have been given, all of which are…

11/8- Golan Heights

You may have noticed that yesterday is missing. There’s a reason for that, unfortunately. I was one of the five total people from our group (1/3 of our group) to come down with food poisoning symptoms and had a rough night with little sleep, so I stayed behind yesterday to catch up on sleep and…

11/6- Caesarea, Mount Carmel, and Megiddo

We visited Caesarea, which is where Paul was imprisoned for two years and gave his powerful testimony in Acts 24-26. We walked through a hippodrome, which would have been used for chariot races then, after the Great Revolt, Gladiator games. Herod had a palace with a pool built, which these are the remnants of! We…
