What a last day in Jerusalem. The weather is gorgeous! Clear skies and mid 70’s. I could not have asked for a better last day. I walked Bet Lechem street and got my paper, silently saying good-bye and praying for those people who I have seen everyday for the last two weeks. I take heart […]
(read more)Burrrr! It is cold this morning, but clear skies. I cannot believe that I am leaving for the States on Thursday. The time has gone just too fast, but, it is time to go. I have some filming to do (End of Year programs) and some speaking engagements to attend. I am looking forward to […]
(read more)Just when I thought everyone staying at my B&B was from Europe and it was just me and Clint and Theresa, from the States, I met a couple from California. I saw them in the breakfast buffet line and the husband had on a “Dixie Chicken, College Station, Texas” t-shirt. I nearly dropped my fork […]
(read more)I finished Wednesday afternoon at the Aroma Cafe in the new Mamilla Mall next to the Jaffa Gate. It is a small outdoor mall with about 20 stores and a couple of cafes. Aroma Cafe has one of the best views of Jerusalem I know. I can sit outside, have my hafuk (cappuccino) and see […]
(read more)Today is a cooler and cloudier day in Jerusalem. Predictions are for rain late this afternoon and all tomorrow. Israel needs the rain. So, I am planning my days around the weather. I went to Tower of David Museum this morning. I have not been there is awhile. Lots of steps and climbing—probably not for […]
(read more)“This is the day the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it” — Psalm 118:24 I try and start each day with this Bible verse in my heart. Each day is His and I want to serve Him in His way, not mine, everyday. My daily life while I am in […]
(read more)Still gorgeous weather. Sunny, light breeze and it is just wonderful to walk around and see the sites of Jerusalem. Will and I had dinner last night at Ragu Italian Restaurant on Bet Lechem (Bethlehem) road. It is a kosher meat restaurant, which means it serves nothing that has to do with milk. Everything is […]
(read more)I spent a restful Shabbat (Saturday) with Will. Jane had emailed me that the group was safe and sound from Petra, so I could relax and not worry about them. They all left Sunday morning (1am) for the States. We ended up having a late lunch at Ramat Rachel. I saw where Will had “dug” […]
(read more)Psalms 122:1-3 “I was glad when they said to me, The house of Adonai, let’s go! Our feet were already standing at your gates, Yerushalayim”, Yerushalayim, built as a city fostering friendship and unity.” Shabbat Shalom! Another beautiful sunny day in Jerusalem. I had the great blessing of visiting with my friends at Blue and […]
(read more)The group is headed to Petra today. It is a day trip that begins about 5am, arriving at the Israel/Jordan border before 7am. They return around 5pm to the border and if they were like me, will be very grateful to be back home in Israel. Jeff, Tony and Jane will be leading the group. […]
