Summer Hebrew 04

Boker Tov! Every morning I wake up, shower, spend time in private worship and then step out the door to face my new host culture. "Boker tov" is their simple "good morning" statement. When I get up to the dining hall I'm greeted by this - a lovely kosher breakfast. Actually, it's a buffet so I can chose what I like but this is my normal fare: hard yellow cheese, a few eggs, salad (peppers, lettuce, onions, cucumbers, olives, tomatoes, wet white cheese), juice, milk, tea, and pita with honey. [meat and dairy cannot be mixed in kosher settings]

Usually I sit by an open window and spend some time reading Pilgrim's Progress before class starts while eating my breakfast. Today Christian met and parted ways with Mr. Formality and Mr. Hypocrisy who entered the narrow way from the city of Vain-Glory. It seems that in this land where I am a guest religion has lots of formality, lots of legality, and yet sadly misses the narrow way.

Pray for me and the various peoples God has placed me among for the summer. May it be replete with worshipful language learning and witness-conscious living. Shalom.
