We are having the time of our lives! I won't bore you with all the details, that'll come later,
Our days our packed with so much. It's really the way to go, having every thing planned, and a big bus to ride on. We went to the TempleMount yesterday and stood where the Holy of Holies was. I was a little intimidated to actually touch the rock (Mount of Moriah), the place where the Ark of the Covenant was and the Presence of the Lord was, the place where Abraham bound Isaac to sacrifice to the Lord, before God stopped his hand. You know what! He's not there anymore, it's just a rock. He lives in us, we are the Holy of Holies, thanks to Jesus' sacrifice. Pretty cool.
So we are hitting all the big spots, all the little ones and everything in between. Oh, and we ate at a tent set up to look like Abraham's in the Judean desert yesterday and guess what...yup, he was there. good old Father Abraham was there and washed our hands and fed us lunch. No sign of Sarah or Hagar though.
Last night a lot of us went downtown to Ben Yehuda street in Jerusalem and did a bit of window shopping and ate a big meal. It was nice. It was the area where you hear about the bombs going off. It put a different perspective on it when you walk around there for yourself and see everyone. it was pretty urban and funky. Lots of machine guns and Hassidic Jews. An interesting combination. Well, I'll be home soon. Can't wait to see you all. Rick is doing great. We are enjoying our time together. Love ya,
Joann
