AMMAN!!!

Hi friends. i'm coming to you from amman, jordan today. woke up at 4:30. my sleeping schedule is WACk.

at 5:00 this morning i was startled by the sound of the call to prayer...the islamic city-wide, audibly projected call to prayer. if you have ever heard it, it is a terrible sound....the sound of the praises of a god who is dead....and who brings death....the sound of death it is.

we're going to see PETRA today (not the 90's christian rock band)....the gorgeous place here in JORDAN with TONS of history. google it and learn about it.

well i'm off. grace and peace-
