Sharing with my friends

Last night I gave out some of the little "business cards" I made with the link to this blog so my friends could follow our thoughts and see pictures of our trip.  I awoke this morning wishing all of you could come with is.  This is the type of experience that one wants to share with all that one loves.  

It has become real enough that when I ponder the trip I get misty eyed.  I will be seeing the land God gave to His chosen people!  I will be seeing where our Lord Jesus walked! Amazing.  

Yesterday Susan and I along with our friend Kathy Mungia looked up where our hotel was in Jerusalem on Google Earth.  We saw where it was in reference to the walls of Jerusalem.  We could see the Dome of the Rock as well as other landmarks on the Satellite view.  Seeing those things brought the reality closer to home for me. Although our hotel is in Jerusalem, the walled city is a much smaller area.  We will not be staying within the walled city.  As we do our travels, I hope to share as much with you all as possible.  

Thank you my friends for being a part of this once in a lifetime excursion.
