I am really excited to read and write about the fall of the walls of Jericho but have no time now so I would like to give you a little preview to get you ready for the amazing story.

"As to the main fact, then, there remains no doubt: the walls [of the city] fell outwards so completely that the attackers would be able to clamber up and over their ruins into the city." Prof. John Garstang

Twenty

Five days of being twenty and I feel...tired. I was so excited to rid myself of the title of "teenager" but now I realize exactly what that entails. I am still ecstatic about life as an adult but it is not what I expected. My first day as an adult I worked twelve hours. That day I realize that though growing up leads to exciting new adventures and new experiences, it also means more responsibility.

Another Goodbye

Sitting in Church today and realizing that I will not be there for weeks made me understand how much my Church means to me. My Church has been a place of encouradgment and conviction.
