Over Half Way

That's the neat thing about school... the things that we celebrate. In this case... it's the half way mark of the semester. For the Humanities course we're suppose to go to a Japanese Tea Ceremony and give a critique of the event... but when you live in Cairo... where in the world do you find someone doing a Japanese Tea Ceremony? Yeah... that's what I thought too... not here in Cairo anyways... but thank God for the wisdom to call the Japanese embassy and see what they knew... and lo and behold... there's a ceremony next week. They only perform the tea ceremony here twice a year... and go figure that it just happens to be during the course I'm taking. Thank you Lord, for His timing is perfect. Now Sandra and I are going to turn the outing into a mini date.

This week in History was interesting from a practical point of view... it was The Rise of Islam and its Impact in the Region... it's actually interesting to be taking a course that applies to where you live... and to what people believe in the area you live... especially when it's so different than yourself.
