muslim brotherhood leader interview

http://icga.blogspot.com/2008/05/muslim-brotherhood-leader-interview.html

I stumbled across this just now, and after reading it, I realized how out of touch with Egypt I have been. Anyone else get that feeling? Well, for purposes of nostalgia, I thought I'd post it up. It's a rather fun read. Hope everyone's doing well!

And BTW, I'm rather dandy myself.... been working my new job for about a month now in Minneapolis and preparing to move in with Mr. Kool and another friend from the area. And yeah, I do share Laura's sentiment of missing student life, but not enough to quit! Who is the coward now? I'm also considering a job offer teaching in Japan this fall... and been getting invitations to move to Boston... where consequently my girlfriend lives. I think you guys might know her ;)

Anyways, ma'a salamma habibs.

Ghana

So this summer I'll be on a mission in Ghana and West Africa for two months. If you get a chance and you think about it, mumkin pray for me? I really don't know what I'm going to do and where I'm gonna go, but I'm sure it'll be fun.


Thanks habibs

Chicago?

Hey all! So Will and I are hoping to be moving to Chicago come this fall (barring several things), and I was really hoping to get a job doing some Palestinian advocacy work.... does anyone know of some good organizations based in the downtown Chicago area? Or any organizations period? Let me know... thanks! :)

Love you all

Happy Valentines Day! :)

Dearest MESPers,
On this very day a year ago we were boarding a boat for a Cruise down the Nile. It seems like yesterday, and oh, how I miss you all!! But this day especially, the day of Love, reminds me of you. Remember how we celebrated this much hated and sometimes greatly anticipated commercialized holiday, Valentines Day? Well, today I just wanted to remind you of the fun we had together last year and just encourage you this Valentines Day to fix your thoughts and hearts on real love, God's love... love that won't wear out or love that isn't defined by a relationship making this day seem like "Single Awareness Day". May your hearts be lifted today, and may you feel God's love for you in a strong way today as we celebrate Valentines Day together... all over the world.
I love you my friends, and I miss you so much!!
Be blessed Today,
Kara Joy

God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him. This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins. Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other. No one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in us, and his love is brought to full expression in us. And God has given us his Spirit as proof that we live in him and he in us. Furthermore, we have seen with our own eyes and now testify that the Father sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. All who confess that Jesus is the Son of God have God living in them, and they live in God. We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love. God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them. And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face him with confidence because we live like Jesus here in this world. Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love. We love each other because he loved us first.
-1 John 4:9-19 NLT-
