Long hard day of walking and seeing. Pools of Bethesda, the Gold Dome Mosque, me (in the green shirt) touching the Wailing Wall, the steps of the temple where Simeon waited. There are no words for what it feels like to hear the scripture read and know that you are here in that place. The faithful millions who have walked these ways has worn away the stones and saturated the places with their hope. I am trying to figure out how to talk about it when I get home.
Sounds like you're having a great time!
