I turn 24 years old today. Thanks to everyone for the warm birthday wishes. Facebook has done wonders for birthdays.I feel a long blog entry is due, considering the best job God has ever blessed me with has ended and I am closing in on finishing my Masters Thesis, but the only thing that is on my heart is Russia. I found this map of St. Petersburg on Flickr. While I do not get about 3/4's of the references and could not point out to you where anything is (try as I might I still get turned around in the streets of St. Petersburg) I think it is beautiful. One of the things that is so fascinating about traveling to a country more than 234 years old is the history behind everything. I spent an afternoon wandering the city with a college student and friend and every building seemed to have a story to it, a history other than "it was built for offices." And my tour guide took such pride in her city; not out of arrogance, but out of respect. This map reflects that respect so perfectly.
I miss it terribly. But I know God is faithful and that His plans are exponentially better than my own. So, now I wait for them to unfold.
All right, 24. Let's see what you got.

Local gas stations and convenience stores appear to be newport cigarettes experiencing an uptick in sales over the last couple of weeks as the Oneida Indian Nation’s supply of mainstream brand cigarettes dwindles.But earlier this year Kinley Tshering, then a media consultant in the capital, Thimphu, discussed with friends over drinks the jailing of a Buddhist monk for three years for possessing $3 worth of tobacco, one of the first to be prosecuted under a new law banning public smoking cheap newport cigarettes.
