HEY EVERYONE...I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR FOLLOWING MY BLOG..SORRY IT WAS A LITTLE SCATTERED.  IT WAS MY FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH A BLOG.   I WILL BE ON MY WAY HOME TONIGHT SO THIS WILL BE MY LAST POST.  I WANTED TO END WITH PHOTOS OF THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE SURROUNDED ME THROUGH OUT  THIS TRIP.   THEY TRULY ARE BEAUTIFUL INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE STRONG CONVICTIONS FOR THEIR GOD AND FAMILIES. 

I HAVE ALSO MADE MANY FRIENDS FROM ALL DENOMINATIONS..JEWISH, GREEK ORTHODOX, BAPTIST, METHODIST, AND MUSLIM, AND SO ON.....

Tuesday, August 23, 2011



Last night with my peeps (people).  It has been a wonderful trip and I have met so many people and made so many new friends.  Brett is the one playing the piano.  He lives in Texas with his wonderful wife.  We all live from one end of the country to the other.  We have grown together as a family and made new friends.  Anyway just a small clip I wanted to share with you all.
Just on an ending note... I did go to the holocaust museum...I did not post any photos from there.  It was kind of sobering and real...I will tell you all about it when i get home...See you all soon and it means so much to me that you are looking at the blog:)  Love u all!!

Jewish families around here are so freaking cute..
The Western Wall..King Herod..wow king herod..i can't believe i just typed that..anyway..He built the wall around 20 B.C.  Lots of history so friends you will have to google it..too tired to write much more.

A few photos of the Israel army..The kids are so young...They all have to serve...Men three and women two.  They love Americans..not to fond of Pres. Obama..big surprise
THE STONE OF UNCTION...THIS MARKS THE SPOT WHERE MARY RECEIVED THE BODY OF JESUS AFTER HE HAD BEEN TAKEN DOWN FROM THE CROSS.  HE WAS ANOINTED WITH MYRRH, ALOE AND AROMATIC OILS..I WAS ABLE TO TOUCH THE STONE AND IT STILL HOLD THE SMELL OF AROMATIC OILS...UNBELIEVABLE!!

YES DARREN IT GAVE ME CHILLS...
 The next six photos consist of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher.   This is where Jesus was crucified before the eyes of his mother.






 This is outside third station on the  Via Dolorosa.  This is the location where Christ  falls the first time...and next to it is where Jesus meets his mother. 
 Inside the church of the first fall


Ceiling of the church...crown of thorns
 The next few photos is the interior and exterior of  The Franciscan Chapel.  This is the site where Jesus was scourged and given the cross to bear....
 In side the chapel..It is absolutely beautiful.

One of the windows inside.
 Some pictures from inside the Jerusalem wall.  This part is in the Muslim territory..
