Ordinary

Ok, so for those who have been checking I am sorry for not updating sooner, but there is really nothing out of the ordinary to report until now. Out of the ordinary seems an odd phrase to use, because I am studying in Jerusalem so everything should be out of the ordinary. It is amazing how even the extraordinary things in life can become normal or seem ordinary when you are in them for an extended period of time. This past week or so since I have updated has been me going to and from class, going to the Domitian Abbey for coffee, gone out a few times into Jerusalem for lunch or a little shopping. Normal everyday activities until I sit and realize that I am in Jerusalem and think how can I see these as ordinary activities? Even thought these are normal activities shouldn't the place that I am doing them in make them more than just ordinary? Well, I must admit that when I am out running errand it hasn't seemed to matter much except when I struggle trying to find my way or figure out how much something cost. I am disappointed a little in myself that I could become so comfortable with the surroundings that God has blessed me with and am not in awe every moment of every day.
