A Sunday in the Old City

So despite still be a tad sick, I ventured out this Sunday with some friends. (Gosh have I been sick!) Anyway, we started the day at the Temple Mount. We got there and the line was so long we thought we might have to leave but we waited in line with the tourist groups and ended up making it to the platform eventually. I think I almost got kicked out because they thought my skirt was too short! Did you know your can't bring a Bible onto the platform? I guess Muslims aren't really into the Bible. Let me just say, it was breathtakingly beautiful. My heart began to pound as I pondered the Holy Spirit choosing this place to dwell. Also, the dome is just so beautiful to look at. Someone told me that its considered one of the most beautiful buildings in the world, and I can see why!

We then headed off to the Baptist Church, were we always feel at Home and Welcome.

THEN, we went to have lunch at Tiffany and Nathans apartment in the Old City. It was really a nice place. Plus, we made American breakfast of Pancakes and eggs! It was a wonderful time of fun and fellowship!
