Early Morning Jerusalem.

Rest is something we occasionally got on the bus. But when we were not resting, I have been absorbing every ounce I could. Jerry Morrison, who took this trip last year prepared me by saying "Saliba, (the guide) will share with you so much that you simply can't get it all in". Well Jerry, way to be a prophet.

I want my children and my parents to someday see this land. It is so amazing to connect years of bible instruction. My return would be especially for my son Lewis who I am certain has read the Old Testament more than any of us.

Today, starting at dark, begins the Jewish sabbath. It is hard to believe that with one square mile of where I have just rested, Jesus Christ was tried, convicted and crucified.
