Going Up to Jerusalem

Today was truly an amazing day. Today we began the trip to Jerusalem, like thousands of people before us we began the trip up to Jerusalem. But before we left the Sea of Galilee, Richard, Susan, and Ruth took a morning dip in the lake. Others of us, joined them on the shore for cherries and to watch the most beautiful and amazing sunrise. "The heavens declared the glory of God" Hopefully Susan might put the photo I took on the blog.

Then we were off. Stopped at many interesting places along the way, but one of the highlights for all of us was the Mediterranian Sea! I wasn't planning on going in, but when the waves came crashing up and I got my shoes and socks wet I figured, "Oh well!" and went in! It was so much fun and what a sight to see us all jumping in and splashing around in the warm waters of the sea.

We arived in the late afternoon at the Notre Dame Center of Jerusalem - basically an old castle like building. I never thought I would stay in such a place! We also had a chance to attend a service at a synagogue on the Sabbath! It was all in Hebrew, but it didn't matter. You could feel the Spirit moving as EVERYONE participated. What a day and we are just beginning. Blessing to all from Jerusalem.
