Explanations...

I have started several blogs and I have never been able to keep them up, so as I am starting this one I have to wonder how long this one will last. 

The reason that I am starting again is...I'm going on a study abroad in January to Jerusalem, in Israel! One rule when I am there is that I am unable to go on Facebook or use Skype. Hopefully, I will be able to use this blog to communicate with family and friends, so they won't think that I've disappeared from the face of the earth!
