Holy Foot Steps.

 I walked here in 2002 in the  footsteps of Jesus. So its with a great sadness to see all the devastation with this on going war. 

We stood across the other side of the Kidron Valley looking at this magnificent dome.

It was an amazing 10 days and something I will always remember.

We stayed out in the desert in a Kubutz, and on the first night we walked out into the desert and sang by the light of the stars and the moon. Whenever I hear or sing, ' Be Still for the Presence of the Lord.' I am right back there. 

We walked through Jerusalem and went to the Wailing Wall to put our prayers. We had communion in the Garden of Gethsemane and at Galilee. I picked and still have some little pebbles from the shore line.

It was an amazing experience, but even then, there were bombings. We spent our last 3 nights in the seaside town of Natalya. The feast of the Passover was being celebrated and a bombing happened a short distance from our hotel.  Quite frightening, we walked to see where it had happened the next day, 5 people had been killed and buildings with every window broken. 

Why? 

The war is still going on in the country of the 'Chosen People.'

But I have been there, and walked in Holy Foot Steps.
