The Reveries Takes on a New Life and New Focus

It has been a few months now since I returned from my trip to Turkey. As such I have not felt the need to continue to post articles and updates on this site. Yet, fate has called me to travel once more to the Middle East for a radically different purpose. For this reason I feel the call to write about my experiences and comment on the political environment that I will be immersed in once again. I feel, though, that this time what I will be involved in will be much more serious and noteworthy as I will be directly participating in a major historical event. This new heightened seriousness has also inspired me to study the conflict in Afghanistan and the surrounding region with more gusto and deliberate intent. The result of this is that I will use this forum to self-publish more writings on political and military commentary on the conflicts in the Middle East. I have also begun to publish more on Christian subjects, most recently for the magazine Christian Weekly. What follows will be a stepping off point for a potentially productive hobby as a columnist and political/military commentator.
