(Written and posted on facebook a while back; quick apology to my friends who I haven’t gotten to talk to individually about the plans…) Over the last year my desire for humanitarian work has grown and has been reinforced by...mgemb2007-09-12T22:07:42-05:00more travels and a link

After a day-long drive, a housewarming party with strangers, crazy phone calls, and googletalking...I'm ready for bed--or futon, I should say. I was sad to leave NYC last Saturday, and I was sad to leave SC today. Or yesterday, since...mgemb2007-06-10T01:27:16-05:00Crazy days and pictures

It’s about 12:20am here in 22H, also known as “22 hotness” according to my roomies. From 10pm until 1:45am I am screaming for productivity but still keep catching myself checking e-mail or facebook. Going to bed before 1am has been...mgemb2007-05-31T01:01:48-05:00MOMA, the mosque, and me

Listening to Covenant Seminary lectures on Francis and Edith Schaeffer by Jerram Barrs (http://www.covenantseminary.edu/worldwide/en/CC578/CC578.asp), cleaning the apartment, and cutting up a semi-sweet pineapple. A few of us visited the Museum of Modern Art last night to top off one of...mgemb2007-05-19T15:19:14-05:00NYC

Enjoying sitting here in the living room of our apartment here in NYC. About to work on some of my assignments for the World Journalism Institute, which I'm attending here until the beginning of June. 3 couches in the room,...mgemb2007-05-15T22:44:10-05:00simplicity

I am watching someone happy--not in a stalker way, but in an observing kind of way... She is wearing a mid-calf-length pleated (maybe) khaki skirt. A pink/white scrunchy thing ties back her frizzy, dirty blond hair. Her collared maroon shirt...mgemb2007-04-20T22:26:29-05:00Popping the question

"What do you expect us to do? Be quiet and be calm and turn the other cheek? We're not Christians. We're Muslims." --- Since high school, I've taken a significant step away from studying, arguing, or really paying consistent attention...mgemb2006-09-04T22:48:58-05:00Philly again
http://www.bensfriends.com/juniata/archives/004977.html
After spending nearly the last two months in (very) rural New Hampshire, sitting here looking out the window of the Urban Imperative house in Philadelphia is quite a change of scenery. I got here Sunday night after a little providential...mgemb2006-08-16T14:59:47-05:00teen week and now

I decided to brave the dial-up-on-an-old-pc wilderness and write an entry in the counselor lounge. So I have a book (Instruments in the Redeemer’s Hands) in my lap for the waits and hope to finish this entry in less than...mgemb2006-08-01T22:13:15-05:00rainy day wisdom

I'm back again at Java Cup with an Italian cream soda and I just got out of the thrift store we all come to once a week or so. This was actually the first time I've been there when I...mgemb2006-07-22T15:51:39-05:00camp

Leadership training week and staff training week are now over at Camp Good News, and the campers come for the first time tomorrow afternoon. The past two weeks have been huge. I wish I could share it all. But restricting...mgemb2006-07-01T16:03:42-05:00summer

Since I started this blog for the purpose of giving updates while I lived in the Juniata area of Philly, I guess I should continue to give updates on it every once in a while—especially because that is one of...mgemb2006-06-13T01:01:16-05:00and he died of laughter

Some people have a gift. They have practiced their whole lives and have gotten it down to a science. They can take almost every circumstance and by some comparison or play of words or connection of events, make everyone else...mgemb2006-05-29T15:56:39-05:00If Dante could blog
http://www.bensfriends.com/juniata/archives/004787.html
If Dante were around today (and if he could hold back from talking about Italian politics), he might blog this instead of counting on people finding it in Canto XIII of the Paradiso. “And lead weights to your feet may...mgemb2006-05-12T23:06:14-05:00
