on the other hand...

i have just returned from a three week tour of syria and lebanon - thanks to all who supported us in prayer and other ways. whilst it will take a while before the intense experiences of that trip condense into coherent thoughts, i wanted to share some wisdom which was gleaned from the Syria Times on the return flight:

"On the other hand, you have different fingers."

"Nothing is foolproof to a talented fool."

"If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried."
