Photojournal: Jerusalem

Amber's already posted a few pictures from our trip to Israel, and I thought I'd follow suit. I'll try to space it out over a few posts starting with religious life in Jerusalem, particularly the Old City. One day maybe I'll have observations to share about this... but that day's not today. (Are those cheers I hear?) I think the pictures can speak for themselves today.

Prayers tucked into the cracks in the Western Wall.


The Church of the Holy Sepulchre.


Another church in the Christian Quarter of the Old City - can't remember which!

Live from Israel...

Amber Joy and I have been having a blast in Israel (not literally, fortunately!). Our travels were a little hampered by the outbreak of war, but we've been able to steer clear of any harm... God has certainly been watching over us.

Now that I'm writing a blog about this trip, I just don't know where to begin. There are so many things I'd like to say, inadequate words for it, and definitely not enough time left on this computer in the internet cafe. So... next time you see me, I'll just have pictures ready to go and plenty of stories to go along with them. I might even be able to put some words on paper in the weeks after we return!

In the meantime, may God's love be with you!
