In the winter of 2006-07, I had the once in a lifetime opportunity to travel with my seminary class to the Holy Land and spend almost 3 months there. During that time, I posted reflections and pictures from my pilgrimage on my previous blog. I am recreating those entries now on this new site to make it easy for those who wish to quickly find these posts. At the time of the initial writing, nearly 100 people followed my day to day journey through the Holy Land. Those posts will now be permanently available here.

Following are are the posts that I have moved over to this site thus far. The list will grow over time. Feel free to check out the original site at http://stunink.xanga.com for the missing episodes.
