Jerusalem 3

To give you a little idea of how we traveled each day...
 Many times we felt like pack-mules!
 The Upper Room...


A statue of David as a child
The kids definitely learned how to eat, drink and sleep on-the-go...Reid is enjoying some freshly squeezed pomegranate juice.

They also weren't shy about letting us know what kind of mood they were in...many places we went we made quite the scene!
Golgotha "place of the skull" where Jesus was crucified.
This is a picture of what Golgotha looked like 50 years ago...You can see why it has its name.




After visiting the Garden Tomb, my father had planned a very special surprise for us. He set up for us to take the Lord's Supper right outside the Tomb. I can't think of a more appropriate place and it was quite an amazing experience! The bible states that after Jesus and his disciples ate the bread and drank the wine, they sang a hymn before leaving to the Mt. of Olives. We enjoyed a lovely rendition of "The Lord's Army" since it's one of the little boy's favorite songs!
