Why no post yesterday:  Gouging rates for internet ($20/24 hours or $3 /15 minutes!!) Sorry, we Canadians are just too cheap for that.

Back in the Old City of Jerusalem after a very long day in the northern region of the West Bank.  It was a stretching and at times difficult day but a good day too.  More to come when the picture man delivers the goods.

Thoughts by Jeff Gooderham:

“Awake my soul and sing

of Him who died for me

and claim Him as my matchless King

through all eternity."

This song has become a theme for me on this trip.  I have heard it ringing in the ancient stones of yesterday, whispering on the gentle ripples of the Sea of Galilee, and crying out in the shadows of the Garden of Gethsemane.  But I have found that it has come alive the most, not in the ancient stones, but in the living stones, those living stones that are so few in number, those living stones that are adorned with such beautiful faces, such warm smiles, and such passionate, courageous love for Jesus.  I have discovered a new song and a new family of brothers and sisters in the Lord!  How blessed am I.
