Jerusalem


well we got to Jerusalem to today and i took a group of us up to the old city in search of the Western Wall, we didn't find it but i know its there. It was awesome to walk throught to ancient streets at night thinking that they must have looked very similar in Jesus' day. The people walking around are so facinating to watch, the devotion they have was humbling for many of us, noting that what if we took time every day to go to church to pray, worship, and talk with G-d? we'll i am tired and it seems only a few are reading so i am going to bed, L-rd willing i will write more in the morning. Oh, Mount Carmel and Caesarea by the Sea were fantastic. i will go back and add some pics to earlier blogs. sorry pics won't upload. Lyndesy i got you some more sea shells and stones from the med.
