I would never expect lebanese in my small Southern hometown, for instance, but in a place with lots of in-migration from the US and abroad, more openness to other cultures, it seemed more likely.<BR/><BR/>sorry for the confusing word choice!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09085565625935264958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6777789.post-1125450995773951662005-08-30T18:16:00.000-07:002005-08-30T18:16:00.000-07:00I do not quite understand the link between liberal...I do not quite understand the link between liberal and lebanese. Alas, I shall try bot to lose any sleep on it. <BR/><BR/>There is a magic line you cross once you start learning and training to lead worship services. On the other side of that line things look differently. When you do not know . . . you enjoy the ride. When you do know, you would rather drive (even if it is from the backseat).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6777789.post-1125438631765153042005-08-30T14:50:00.000-07:002005-08-30T14:50:00.000-07:00I'm jealous!

It seems like an enormous cosmic oversight that liberal east coast place with tons of students and hip people lacks a place as good as Aladdin's for lebanese. *lament*<BR/><BR/>Good to know! Also somewhat sad that they don't know who I am, but I was ever a 9 o'clock person, so it's probably not too surprising either.

I was hoping to get to hear one of the regular clergy/staff, but that's ok. <BR/><BR/>I love Aladdin's, and one of the things I love about Seabury is that we have Aladdin's in Evanston too! That said, I've also eaten twice at the Middleburg Aladdin's since I've been home. It's such a great place for veggies and non-veggies to eat together!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11345747516619853427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6777789.post-1125422086094033362005-08-30T10:14:00.000-07:002005-08-30T10:14:00.000-07:00sometimes it's good to go to a 'miss' service, if ...sometimes it's good to go to a 'miss' service, if only to appreciate what we have back home.<BR/><BR/>praying for the storm still - and praising God that He is in control even of the stormsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6777789.post-1125357745434376842005-08-29T16:22:00.000-07:002005-08-29T16:22:00.000-07:00Sometimes there is good preaching but it can be hi...Sometimes there is good preaching but it can be hit or miss too (especially in the rotation). I've often been very impressed with Alan+ though. He preached a great sermon back in March on the seed that have no roots, etc.<BR/><BR/>Glad to hear about your New Orleans family, though, that is good news!<BR/><BR/>I don't know if you're as much of a fan of Aladdin's as I am, but I miss it a lot now that I'm gone. Let me know if you get to eat there while you're home.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09085565625935264958noreply@blogger.com
