Well, I'm getting one of the wishes I had when I was little....

I nailed Spain for 3 years - lived there and loved it!!

I'm moving to Germany for an indeterminable amount of time... and that's a big dream...

And I hope to at least visit and call my third home ISRAEL.. it is in my heart, and I'm dying to finish learning ( or keep learning I should say! ) Hebrew and get down and dirty with the Sabras and work on a Kibbutz (even if just volunteer work) and check out how Messianics handle being in the Land.

I want to celebrate Passover and Shavuot in Yerushalayim... biggest dream ever... And as every year "Next year in Jerusalem!" I pray is sometime SOON

Quote from Lead 'I do have a serious question though. The UK and Britain are interchangeable terms. So, the UK includes England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales right? If so, do these places have a special name? In the US we have “states,” in Canada they have “provinces,” do ya'll have something like that in the UK? Also, how do you refer to commonwealth members like Canada and Australia? Just "the Commonwealth?" Finally, what does Austrailia call their states/provinces? I sure hope these aren't stupid questions.'



The UK is made up of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, each of these are made up of Countys which in turn are made up of towns and Cities. London is capital city of England in and is in various Counties. I live in the City of Sheffield which in the North East of England and the County of South Yorkshire. Each town and City has different areas, and post codes (zip codes) Are you confused yet? Hope i answered you questions Lead!

No I am not confused, sounds exactly like what we have here except in a state or two. The main thing that I was wondering about though was if you were going to refer to England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales with one word, other than the UK or Britain, what word would you use? Like we call the 50 states "states" or individually we call them "state."

No they are just referred to as the UK or seperately.

I have a little itching that my studies might take me to one of the North American countries before they - my studies - are over. Another place is Italy - I'm taking Italian at the university and why study a living language if you're not planning to make real use of it?

Good question!

I recently read a book called "The Forgotten Children", which is about the children in Northern Uganda who are suffering under the LRA's terrorization. It touched my heart and made me feel for the children and I've been praying for them (I'm going somewhere with this, I promise).

I would want to spend a year in Northern Uganda helping the children who are being tormented by the LRA. Help them get away from the LRA and help them to cope with their situation and to become healthy again.
