israel was fun
if you count burning in the dead sea. while floating.
collecting big chunks of solid salt that looked like boulders.
playing cards for 4 hours while in transit.
riding camels, donkeys that dont obey the owners commands.
eating lamb, chicken and bread everyday for lunch and dinner.
going to the wailing wall and hear people wailing.
sitting in the bus for 1/4 the time.
listening to ipod with your friend, only to find him sleeping and not changing songs.
sleeping at odd times and having a hard time waking your friend up.
playing soccer in lift lobbies of hotels.

and of course.
seeing jesus' tomb, the road he travelled, the upper room of the temple, the manger where he was born, going to where moses went, found out how the israelites took 40 years to walk through the desert (sit on a camel and youd find out :P), hearing interesting stuff said by pastor malcom and the guide, walking nonstop and having lunch at 3pm when all you had for breakfast was one piece of bread and some egg. yeah.thats about it.

it was fun.

-* Fellowship of the Unshamed- I am a part of the fellowship of the Unashamed. I have the Holy Spirit Power. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I am a disciple of Jesus Christ. I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still. My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, and my future is secure. I am finished and done with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tame visions, mundane talking, chintzy giving, and dwarfed goals. I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits, or popularity. I don't have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded, or rewarded. I now live by presence, learn by faith, love by patience, lift by prayer, and labor by power. My pace is set, my gait is fast, my goal is Heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions few, my Guide is reliable, my mission is clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, deterred, lured away, turned back, diluted, or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of adversity, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I won't give up, back up, let up, or shut up until I've preached up, prayed up, paid up, stored up, and stayed up for the cause of Christ. I am a disciple of Jesus Christ. I must go until He returns, give until I drop, preach until all know, and work until He comes. design by noids
