It is with mixed feelings that we leave Jerusalem. It would be an amazing place to live for 6 months - to really dig in and learn where things are - to FEEL the city. We've had a fast and furious 3 days here. We ended tonight on the Mount of Olives talking about Christ on the night of His arrest. It was amazingly beautiful to film outside under the moonlight in a garden full of olive trees. From there you can look across the Kidron Valley into the Old City and see where Jesus was tried and crucified. It is such a privilege to walk in such an ancient place, see the old stone roads and just imagine. Did you know that where Abraham caught the ram to be sacrificed in Issac's place is practically in the same place as where Christ died? It is as if God is telling the same story over and over again - same story, different characters and everthing coming to fulfillment in Jesus. Hmmmmmmm......
We leave in the morning for Jordan for one last day of filming. Then on Sat. we head to the airport to come home!!!!!!!! Very much looking forward to seeing the kids, our family and all of you. We have missed you dearly - but you have been with us!
God is good and His love endures forever,
Cathi
p.s. Scott went back to the Western Wall tonight for one last visit - he's hooked.

Oh Cathi, I almost get tears in my eyes just thinking about all of it...the city and all the stories it tells. Oh wow! Cannot wait for yall to come home!
See you guys real soon!! Jerusalem was awesome wasn't it. I hope that you enjoy your last few days in the Holy Land. I can't believe you guys have already been gone three weeks. I know that it has been a whirlwind for you too. We can't wait to learn all about...that is after you have had a chance to settle back into western life and love on the kiddos.
OK you all have me hooked and have aready told Chesley that we are going to Riverside to hear what Scott has to say about your trip. I'm sure there are some good sermons stiring around in his heart.

We are looking forward to the trip in 2009 - God willing we will be on it. We miss you. Saw Emily the other day as we drove through Lantan Ridge ;-)...Emily yelled, "Glenn!!!" and started running arms in the air. He got out of the truck and she hit him with full force. It was beautiful. I know she can't wait to run to Daddy with even MORE exuberance! Your fam of 5 (and extensions of parents) has been in our prayers every day. Can't wait to see you ... and learn from you in time. Much love to you. May Yahweh Shalom cover you...AMEN!
