Shalom Y’all!
We have been seeing so many things that it all becoming a blur! LOL! I believe it will not truly sink in until I get home and sort out some pictures.
Today was a special day for me. Among our sites we visited the original Via Dolorosa (Way of Sorrows) the street where Jesus walked carrying His cross. This pavement is 20 feet below the other Via Dolorosa, the more modern one. Here, beneath the city, where a convent was built over top, the air was cool and dry and we walked along narrow passways that had been excavated to reveal the original stones of the chariot path. We all sat or stood on the stones while Pastor Jimmy read the Scriptures that reminded us how much Jesus suffered before He was crucified.
After the Scripture was read, I sang the song “Via Dolorosa” with lovely background track. Unfortunately, I choked up and had to stop and start again. My mind had gone blank and I could not remember the next word! Ack! A singer’s biggest nightmare!
The good thing is, it was an informal time and the music director simply rewound the track and I started again, and this time, I remembered the words. It was a special song in a very special place. How many people get to actually sing “Via Dolorosa” ON the Via Dolorosa? Few I would imagine. I am very blessed.
I do have some pictures to share and more will be coming once I get home.
This picture is sunrise on the Sea of Galilee, where Jesus spent so much of His time.
