We have just a bit of time left before we go to our closing dinner together and some of us decided to head back to the Old City for a teensy bit more shopping. It truly was a teensy bit more - we only made it into one store. The owner was a salesman extraordinaire and basically got all the money each of us had, in exchange for wonderful necklaces, scarves and earrings.
As we headed home, I literally had one shekel to my name. Kimberly, Brenda, Steve and Greg were pretty much in the same shape as I, so we followed our original plan and walked home. This wasn't as easy as you might think, because Jerusalem streets wind about the hills and valleys in very confusing ways. We asked eight people - yes, really 8 - before we were able to find someone to give us directions "home". It wasn't difficult, but it was a little bit of a walk. Anyway, it was wonderful, as this whole experience has been.

Hi Pastor Rebecca,
I've been delighting in these blogs, eye images and sermons. I need to hop over to Sweet Hollow to break bread and fellowship with the "faith people". :-)
