For my graduation present Jenny got me this tattoo. It is the Hebrew word ger which means pilgrim, sojourner, or stranger. I chose this particular tattoo because from this point forward I will no longer be a full time student and it will become more and more appealing to behave as if this world were my home. It is my hope and prayer that this tattoo will be a constant reminder to me that I am a pilgrim and a sojourner here, and I need waste no time building a little fiefdom for myself because one day I will die, be painted up like a clown, and covered with dirt. God grant me the grace to remember my true home.
