So yeah, this is the online Journal of Sarah Wagner (webpage) and Rachel Luce. We recently graduated from Cornerstone University in Grand Rapids, MI. We are now studying in the cute little country called Israel, at Jerusalem University College. Rachel is getting a Master's Certificate in Middle Eastern Cultures and Religion and thinks AK-47's are cool. Sarah is getting a Master's Certificate in Biblical History and Geography and thinks it would be cool if camel's could swim to Greece.

We often had people ask us if we were scared to live in Israel, to which we said "Why? Once you're dead you can't be scared anymore." To which one professor said we were silly little girls. What a big meanie. I mean, who says stuff like that anyways? If you really want to know how dangerous the world is check out the immensely useful and extremely funny book The World's Most Dangerous Places available in its entirety at www.comebackalive.com.  

If you want to contact us, please do! Email Sarah at sarah_a_wagner@hotmail.com or Rachel at lucerachel@hotmail.com. We also have a travel cell phone, which gets free incoming calls, so just email us and ask us for our phone number so you can call us. However, that is assuming that we really do want a phone call from you, which can be iffy sometimes. If you want to send us mail, or better yet, a package (!) just send it to the school with our name on it. The school's address is:  P.O. Box 1276, Mt. Zion, 91012 Jerusalem, Israel. The school's phone number is 972-2-671-8628 and the fax number is: 972-2-673-2717, but the school asks that you only use those in the case of an emergency.

I have had the pleasure of visiting many Orthodox churches here in Jerusalem and at home and have made up this list of Do's and Don't and observations on how a Protestant can make a visit to an Orthodox service without making a religious faux pas.
